A Runner's Choice !

Last Saturday morning, March 12, over 11,000 people of all ages gathered at McGuire's Irish Pub for the annual St. Patrick's Day 5k Run.

I was not among them.

Rather, I was participating in a RUN of a different kind.

A Religious Order known as The Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration are in the process of building a new Monastery and Chapel in Tonopah, AZ. Their Chapel is now complete.

One of the ways the Nuns have of rainsing funds for their Monastery is sponsoring what they are calling a "Nun Run". This year I joined the Nuns as a "shadow participant" (one who joins in the the run but at a distance).

Below are: Sister Marie St. Paul and Sister Esther Marie

Their best and most devoted shadow runner!
