Lisa’s LCA 5K

Lisa’s Lung Cancer Awareness 5K (Lisa’s LCA 5K) is a wonderful event hosted by the family and friends of a woman who died way too young from lung cancer. It raises money to fight that killer–and Lisa’s friends and family give every runner a warm welcome, a fast course, a hearty post-race meal, and a terrific raffle.

Come! Run with me now…

Lisa’s Lung Cancer Awareness (LCA) 5K

Lisa’s Lung Cancer Awareness 5K (“Lisa’s LCA 5K”) in Lowell, MA has a fast course, burgers and beer after the race, and a great raffle…but what sets it apart is the warmth of the people who make this race happen. They make you feel special the moment you arrive.

This race and its cast of terrific volunteers touched my heart the first time I ran it, two years ago…yet somehow it gets better each year!

Barefoot running:

This is the 20th race that I’ve run barefoot–all but four of them since Labor Day. The roads are smooth and I feel as if my feet never touch the ground.

Come! Run with me now…

A road race? Sure, but more than that: it’s a big, warm hug.

Of course, we came to run. So run with me now…


The start of the race…

Poetry in motion.
