BROKE $4,000.00!!!! I am so thrilled with all the support (both financially and mentally) that I have been receiving. This whole experience has just been awesome! I would like to thank everyone who has contributed so far in helping me reach my original goal. I'm not stopping there though- now I'm aiming for $5,000.00!! (So if you are planning to donate, but haven't had a chance yet... help me get there!)
Training is going well- I love getting out for my morning run- and sometimes I want to run on the days I don't have to-- is this what they were talking about- addiction?? It helps that the weather has been cooperating for the most part here... and I love living in the foothills- trails everywhere! Running with the team on the Saturday long runs has been really encouraging. Some of us really started from scratch and it's great to see how far everyone is coming. We have started mid-week practices on Thursday evenings to work on speed and hills. I don't like hills. Unfortunately, downtown Seattle IS hills, so I suppose I'd better get used to it....
This coming weekend, I am entering my first race ever- the Platte River Half Marathon. It's through Littleton, Colorado, on the trails along the river and then comes out in Denver. I would like you to keep in mind I have NEVER entered a race in my life... not even a 5k... unless you count the mini-marathon, which was (I think) a 3 mile run back in middle school. eek.
