Run for Sherry

Tomorrow, 2/11/12, the running community will gather together for one of our own.  On January 7th, Sherry Arnold, wife, mother, schoolteacher, and runner, left her home for an early morning run and never returned.  Two men have been arrested and confessed to her murder, but her body has not been found.

Sherry’s cousin, the blogger behind Shut Up + Run, organized a virtual run in her honor.  This run will join together runners around the country and globe to celebrate Sherry’s life.

In one way or another, we’ve all benefit from this community.  We’ve gained strength, knowledge, friendship, advice, tips, tricks, and support.  And it’s time to give back.

I ask that if you’re running, walking, biking, or working out this weekend, print a bib and do it in honor of Sherry.  Spread the word, tell your friends and family, and take photos to be shared with Sherry’s family!

And since I’m an idiot who can’t get a date right, Cassie and I ran ten miles for Sherry last weekend.  I’m damn proud to honor her the best way I know how.
