One of my husband’s cousins (who participates in Ironman triathlons because “half-Ironmans weren’t enough”) told me today that if I did a sub-4 hour half-marathon, he would write a check for $100; I told him he could hand it over now lol. Seriously, though, I am hoping for a sub-3 hour time on this race, which may be ambitious, but in less than 3 weeks, we shall see!

Also, thanks to Aaron and Katie White and Brenda and Keith Veltman for their donations!

Thanks to Christel Sanchez, Paul and Kathy McGrew, Martha Cox, and Charles Crochet for their donations!

Now, to the training update. I started off pretty good, then took a couple of weeks off because of some personal stuff that had to be taken care of. When I got back to training, it hit me; there were only about 6 weeks left until the half-marathon, and my training runs were still mostly walking. I needed to kick it into gear! So that’s what I’ve been trying to do. A couple of the runs have just not been good, but most of them are, and for that I’m thankful. Today was 8 miles, roughly two-thirds of the distance I’ll have to do on December 5, and although it wasn’t as fast as I’d like, the entire distance was completed, and that’s what matters.

Here’s to a great race in December!

I will need to post another thank you soon, since a few more donations have trickled in through the mail this past week, so be sure to look for that!

Run on, Team!
