Training/Fundraising Update - Part VI

What a great couple of weeks!! The Poker Run was a blast. I didn't win any extra money, but had a great day with my family. With 16 days to go until the end of the fund raising, I'm definitely trying to stay positive. I'm over half way to my goal and I still have donations coming in. I know I can do it!

Speaking of "do it," I love Nike apparel. It all started with a little device called the Nike Sports Band and now I'm hooked. Running socks, pants, shirts and a jacket later I am beginning to build quite a Nike wardrobe. Dicks Sporting Goods has one of the best selections of gear. With the Dick's Score card and email coupons, I'm able to save a chunk of change on my purchases. Dick's is fast becoming one of my favorite stores!

You're probably wondering how the whole training is going. Well, I'm doing awesome! I completed three six mile and one nine mile workouts last week. This week it's three five mile workouts and a shorter Saturday workout with the team. Even though I've noticed a difference in the fit of my clothes, I'm finally seeing a difference on the scale. The most important part is that I feel great and have so much more energy.

A final note, a big congrats to Americans Meb Keflezighi and Ryan Hall who place 1st and 4th in the ING NYC Marathon on Sunday. This is the first time in 26 years that an American has won the marathon. What a statement for American long distance running!

Thanks to all my friends and family who have been able to donate to my cause. I'm so blessed to have your support!

Have a great week and check back soon...
