that's right, as you all know, i've embarked on a journey to run 26.2 miles and finish the marine corps marathon on october 29th! at the same time, i'm also fundraising for the leukemia and lymphoma society; you can check out my webpage at http://www.active.com/donate/tntnca04/tntncaSCheng but please keep checking back here for more updates on my crazy adventure!

photos from the camera i carried with me on the run...

during the race, i carried a disposable camera with me so that i could take photos.

this first photo is of my friends from work, sarah and isaac! they were awesome to come and cheer me on. i stopped to take a photo of us; however, the only part of me that i got was my bright green viser in the left hand corner! oops!


this next photo is of the crowd! check out how many people there are!!!

this next photo is of me right after i finished the race. because there was a line to get a medal and a space blanket (before exiting the area), i asked the girl behind me to take a photo of me and the iwo jima memorial!

this last photo is of me at haines point, the toughest part of the run! since this statue the awakening is so hard to get to, most people have never seen it. so i made sure to take a photo of it when i was running by it to show people that it really exists!

photos from marine corps marathon

finally, i got a couple photos that regis took of me uploaded on here! this first one is of me coming into the potomac parkway (aka haines point), which is about mile 16.3!

this next photo is of me and regis right before the lincoln memorial, so around mile 9.5. this was the first time on the course that i saw him so i was really excited! he came up and ran right next to me, and we took this photo on the move! this last photo is after the race, at the team in training tent. from left to right, it's me, mark (a friend of mine who ran the race), marian (one of my friends who came out to cheer me on), and regis.
