Running to work. (10 miles)

I ran to work with the flag today. It's was a 10 mile run from Cambridge to Needham. It' was quite warm giving that it is Jan. The run took me one hour and 35 minutes.  I improved my time by 10 minutes comparing to last time I ran to work with the flag. I have been testing different phrases that I can put on the flag. I want people stop me and have a chat so I can explain more about the significance of the flag.  So far what I have is, “Raising money for cancer. One dollar at a time. Together we will make difference.” Do you have any thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment.

 

Here is the picture I took for myself.

Destination Harvard Square.

Today's destination was Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The weather was again great. I handed out more cards for the website. I plan to make a bigger sign to pin on the flag sometime tonight.

Four miles run to Boston

I ran four miles with the Flag to Boston . The weather was great for running. One the way back I met John Rogaris and his friend, whose name I failed to get. They donated $150 on the spot. I was not expecting that and I was really surprised and didn't know what to do. I should have taken a picture. Just want to say thanks. John's business card is from Roggie's Brew and Grille. There is no title on the card. Here is his website: www.roggies.com. I am sure he does not mind if you pay a visit. Here are some pictures from today.

The Test Run

After I had the idea, I was not sure if running with such a big flag was feasible. I tested it out by running to work with the flag. It was a 10 mile run and I made it! Here is a picture of me rolling up the flag at work.

One Million Dollar Flag Snowy Day

We got a lot of snow in Boston today. I biked to work this morning in the snow and rain. After coming back from work, Aaron and I worked on the website, the logo, and the letterhead for one hour. When I finally got a chance to run, it was 10:30pm already. Didn't go very far. :-(.
