Almost Half Way!

Miles in 2013: 445
Days until NYC Marathon: 125

 

I clearly am super excited to be running the New York City Marathon!  Training for an early fall marathon in Central Florida during the summer time is not fun!  Saturday I did 14 hot, sweaty, humid miles at a 12:36 moving pace!  It was what I needed to get to 100 miles run this month!  I think it will be the first of many 100 mile months especially while training for NYC and the Dopey Challenge!  This week I should have between 20-25 miles even with the holiday thrown in there.

100 Miles in June!

After 14 miles!  Our first matching outfit of the season!

A great Dopey gift from Dennis to keep us inspired for all this training

I also got to meet up with Jen on Friday.  We spent the day doing a much more fun cardio workout - SHOPPING!  Since I've lost about 85 pounds in the past 2.5 years most of my work clothes are falling off of me.  It was great to get some new threads that actually fit.  Jen and I also planned out some of the stuff we want to do while NYC (she's excited for the trip too!) It's a good thing that I'm running a marathon while I'm there because most of our list was places to eat!

Best of all, I'm happy to report that in just 2 weeks, I'm already almost halfway to my fundraising goal!  47% of the way there!  A huge thank you to those of you that have already donated!  I couldn't do this without you!  If you're still interested in donating here is my fundraising site!  I also still have everything in my Etsy shop being sold and added to my fundraising efforts.  I am confident with everyone's support I will be able to hit my goal soon!

 

47% Already!
