Would any of you like to dedicate your run this Saturday to the Prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley? For those of you who don't know who he is, he is a great man of faith, love and tolerance for all mankind. He has been the Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for the past 13 years. Please run a few miles for him, even if you didn't know and love him...he was a great man. I thought that maybe we could run a combined 97 miles to celebrate his 97 wonderful years on this earth. I can do 5...What can you do? I'm up for any suggestions on how we can celebrate his life this Saturday! Don't forget to pass it on to your friends too. This could be great!

I am in!! What a great idea. I will be running 16. (Hopefully!)
16 for me, too.
I would love too but my sister-n-law is getting married bright early on Saturday and we'll be wrapped up with wedding stuff the whole day--but I'll definitely think about you all running while I'm at the temple.
I'm in in in! Count on 7 from me.
I'm in for 14! (This will be the most I've ever run at one time! Pretty much every sat. from here on out is!)
I think our count on miles is 53!
Great idea Erin! I love you. (We're related, I can say that!)
3 of us out here in Michigan are running 9 for our marathon training. I love this idea of 97 for President Hinckley. Add our miles in if you need them. (All Polliwog's friends)
Hey Erin,
Are you here in SLC locally? I am a reporter for KUTV 2, and I am doing a story on Hinckley tributes tonight and would lo-lo-love to include this fun idea into my story. Could you please get back to me asap? I'm under a deadline. Or any mommies who are here locally who are planning to dedicate their runs-- please let me know! Thanks! Jen from WRFDJ, 801-973-3070, jstagg@kutv2.com
Out in D.C. i will 6! yea.
i will put it on my blog.
I am new to running - really new! I can barely run/walk 3 miles without wanting to die. I'm not sure how many miles I could commit to. I want to stretch myself but not sure how much I could physically do. So here is my plan...I am going to download Pres. Hinckley's talks from April & Oct 2007 conferences onto my i pod & I will push myself through those talks. Not sure what the mileage will be - I will post results after the run.
I'm in too...I found this from Kristi's blog. I will teach 1-45min spinning class and run 8 miles!
I will be running after his funeral so that I will have a bundle of memories to take on my stroll.
I love this challenge! Thanks for giving me a outlet to place all of my warm fuzzy thoughts of a truly inspiring man.
Great idea... I'm in for 7.
I'm like the above poster~I'm new to running but my husband & I have been running so I'm putting him in for 3 & I'll say me 2~so 5 from Texas!
Thanks for the challenage!
I just starting walking again this morning after slacking since Dec. 1st. Thanks for the inspiration. Put me down for 3 miles. I think President Hinckley would be very proud of all of us for doing this.
All the way from Alaska....can't run outside, it's below zero, but I will hop on treadmill and run at least 6...
Thanks for the inspiration
I'm a new runner-after-taking-a-3 year break...I'm here in Texas and will shoot for 3, but will go as far as I can!
I'm not a runner, but Erin is my sister-in-law and I totally think this is a great idea. I'll be in for 2 miles!
I guess I am in, I live with the girl who's idea this was..plus it is very inspiring. I am not a marathon mommy or a mommy, but I am to 3 of your marathon mommies my sister is Angela,my sister-n-law is Jana and of course my cousin is Erin, the genius behind this! I am also not a runner, but I will definetly try my best on saturday!! I will definetly do two miles for sure, but I might go for more!! Love you Erin...great great Idea!!
Grand-Mommy Robert says "Count me in!" I am good for at least 3 miles, but I'm shooting for 4. Weak, I know, but I'm OLD! Love you Erin!
Love this. I will run 16 early Saturday morn.
6 for me.
I'm in for 5...
I'm out in Ohio where the weather is below zero with the wind chill factor. Oh well, no pain, no gain and for such a great cause...count me in for 5 (anymore and my lung might freeze!).
I am in for 9.
I am in for at least 2 hopefully 3. Thanks EP!
I'll be doing 5 miles in sunny Temecula, California!
Brand new to running...think this is the perfect place to start. I downloaded a few of his talks and hope to travel a distance of 1-2 miles. Amanda in CT.
Looks like you more than got your 97 miles but I would like to add 3 if possible. I'm not the best runner but I know I'm good for 3 :)
Erin you are so AWESOME! I love this idea and I would love to run with all these amazing women! I will run 12 miles a challenge but with President Hinckley on my mind I know I'll be inspired!
I've got 10 on my training schedule for Saturday. I'll be dedicating it to President Hinckley. Thanks for the idea!
What an awesome idea. You can count me in for 5!
I don't even know how I found your blog. but, I wanted to say I love what you are doing. I can't run on Saturday, but I know a lot of runners who would love to do it. I am a beginner walker/runner. The individual 16 miles is a little daunting for me.
This is my first time on your blog. My friends and I will be running 13 on Saturday and would love to join your President Hinckley memorial run. Count us in!
hi. this is suzie petunia's "make-believe internet friends'" sister (erin's sis). (i also am megan's old roommate). anyways, this is a fun idea; it looks like you definitely have your 97 miles covered. i will add 4-6.
I am going to squeeze in at least 2 before I leave for a wedding.
i got here from somewhere...not sure but glad I made it. I just started training for a half marathon a couple weeks ago. I'm in for 4 on Saturday. What a wonderful idea. Thank you!
kEllY from Temecula, CA...
I don't exercise and I certainly don't run but I am in for 3 miles. It might be a walk/attempt to jog type of thing but I love your plan & I will support it to the best of my ability.
Thank you!
o.k. M&M gave me the challenge and I need something like this to put the fire under my running shoes and get me going. This is for you President Hinkly I can start out with 2 miles hopefully more once I get going.
I am in for sure. What a great idea. I am planning on running 7. Thanks M&M for sending this to me. This is a great tribute to an amazing man.
Count me in for 2 miles in Collierville, TN. Great idea! I'm new to your blog. Thank you :)
38 people have committed to running a total of 252 miles so far! What a bunch of amazing women (and a few men, too! I bet we could get the total number of participants up to 97 before Saturday. :)
I'm not a marathon runner, but I will run 3 miles this Saturday. What a tremendous idea for a tribute; I love it!
My friend Lisa emailed me to tell me she will be running on Sat. 3 miles.
I am still recovering from childbirth but I can walk at least a couple miles. Add me to your count to help reach 97 participants.
Three for me this Saturday. Great idea! What a wondeful way to pay tribure to our dear prophet, a man who was constantly on the run himself.
Happy running, everyone!
Count on 4 each from two of us in Minnesota.
This is run-alongside-many-marathon-mommies-ted.
Great idea. Thanks for telling me M&M. I am in for 10 on Saturday.

I'm in for 3, and that will be a sacrifice ... and I'm forwarding the link to President Hinckley's son and grand daugther (my sister-in-law). Maybe they can make it out sometime on Saturday as well. What a great idea!

Awesome idea! Put me in for ten miles.
Too cold and snowy for a run and I can't stand indoor running. But you can put me and Blanche down for 5 miles of cross country skiing each. Think of it as winter time running.
I just came across your blog, what an awesome idea! I am up for 3 miles. I havent been since before Christmas.
Great idea, My husband and I are in for 5 miles each.
Bless my good friends LaRay, Dianne, and Ruth who have each committed to run on Saturday. That is another 3 people with combined mileage of 13. This is wonderful!

I'll be doing 7. See ya in the parking lot! Not a mommy, but I married one...
I'm in San Antonio and was planning on cycling 12 miles and running a few after that. My husband will probably run 4 or 5 miles also. So add two more to your count I know you've surpassed your miles count but it's great everyone is doing something
I'm old and it's cold--but I'll do 5 miles for a wonderful man and a true prophet of God! (With a shout out to Amanda L. in CT and Laura W. in Chicago!)
Put me down for a 1.6 mile walk...and stop laughing. (But multiply it times three + a fedus!)
Hold the phone...This dedication run just made Kimmie from WRFDJ say she will "love every minute" of her run?!?!?!? Just making sure to document this momentous occaision!

Count me in for 5 miles. Abi from Utah
I killed my knees last year at the Salt Lake Marathon. In the past six months, I haven't been able to run more than a mile or two at a time. I haven't been running in months. But I ran for Ryan Shay and I will definitely be in for president Hinckley. I'll probably make it 2 before my knees give out, but I'm in!
I ran 6 this morning with the Michigan girls!
Chelle,
I hope you see this--94 comments and people participating in your run, that is great! I'm a runner, too. Have been since Jr. High, but have been doing triathlons mainly for the past 6 years...
Anyway, I wanted to THANK you for your kind words and support on CJane's blog. It means a lot. Thank you!
I did 5
Team Hanni got 7 done today...... I wish I could have gone 26.2 for President Hinckley. What a remarkable man!!!
I hope it's not too late to add my miles...I ran 7 1/2 yesterday and would love to be included in the dedication to President Hinckley...what an amazing man!!
