 Lafayette, CO |  Subject: RE: BT run for RusherWell, I wanted to do tonight's workout in honor of Christine but unfortunately I was in a car accident and couldn't do the workout. I'm running a 5k race on Sunday and will think of her then for sure! Thanks to those of you who have shared personal stories of Christine, I can tell she really touched all who knew her. |

Member  63 Natrona Heights, PA | Subject: RE: BT run for Rusher I didn't even know who Christine was until yesterday, but I put in my 5K tonight. I've only been running for about 2 months, and I thought a lot about her when I was running. I ran a long (for me) uphill towards the end and then a final downhill. I gave it all I had that last mile, pushed hard, thinking about her and feeling grateful to be able to do this. |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: BT run for Rusher No run - thunderstorms and raining all evening/night. Instead, we (Sue, Jeff and I) had pizza and beer and toasted Christine. I drank her beer for her; she would have wanted it that way. She was a beaut, a real gem of a human being. How lucky am I that we crossed paths? Very. Edited by Renee 2010-07-15 9:12 PM |

| Regular 214 | Subject: RE: BT run for Rusher I didn't know Christine, but after reading about her on this board she sounded like a wonderful human being. I ran 5k last night which was a perfect night for running in the Chicago suburbs. From what I gathered from the posts here is that Christine was a carefree, free spirited person, who didn't care about how fast someone could run. She seemed to love running, biking, etc. for there own intrinsic value. So I did the run how I perceived Christine would have wanted it....no heart monitor, not watch, nothing but some shoes and shorts. Here's to you Christine and may your spirit live within all of us.

| Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: BT run for Rusher Christine's story touched me deeply. I was just a lurker on BT when she became ill and died..........but still remember the emotionally charged vibe that was on this site at the time. She was obviously a very special woman, and well loved by all that knew her. I am not able to run for the foreseeable future.......so instead I rode 55 kms in her honour. When I moan and groan about my injury that is preventing me from running , I take a moment and STOP. Then I think about how terribly lucky I am to have my good health. Gimpy knee or not........... Cheers Christine!! |

| Lafayette, CO | Subject: RE: BT run for Rusher Ran the Donor Dash today with Christine in mind and PR'd by over a minute. But, like Christine, that sub 30 minute 5k is still eluding me. And I'm drinking a Corona now thinking of her some more. Cheers Christine! |
