- After 13.1 miles!
+JMJ+
Ave Maria! What a joy it is to complete 13.1 miles! The Half Marathon was a grueling experience, but so much grace abounded.
Joyce, Pegeen, Rosemary, Dave, Christy and I all finished and have no injuries–praise God!
My overall time was 2:40:03. I am so grateful to Kate, Eric and Fr. Bob–from our community at Our Lady of the Angels–for coming out to cheer.
Also, to Karen Callaway, who is the photographer for the Catholic New World, for coming out on her day off to get pictures! She is responsible for the great picture of me running, posted a few days ago.
Also, big thanks to my ‘kids’ (as I call them) who came out to cheer me on: Mary Liz, Lisa and Greg–three rock star Pro Life college students of whom I am so proud!
Yesterday afternoon we had a beautiful party at Michael and Kelly’s house here in Chicago, and many friends came out to celebrate and support my vocation. Over $2,000 in donations were gifted yesterday alone!
Don’t foget to tune into Drew Mariani’s show today at 4:45 CST (on Relevant Radio, or online at RelevantRadio.com .I’ll be a guest once again, sharing about race day!
Stay tuned for more NunRun updates…we’re going to try to get a graphic up to indicate where we are and how much more we need to raise!
Above all, thank you for your support and prayers. When you make a gift to the Laboure Society on my behalf, please be sure to indicate it is “in honor of Alicia Torres.” For more information, please visit Donate Today.
Know of my daily prayers for you…God bless you!
Hi, Alicia. There was a nice article and running photo of you in the Rhode Island Catholic. Have you received enough donations to cover your school loans yet, and if not, how far to go? Thanks, Mike
