So far so good…

It’s been a little over 2 weeks since my last post and since then there’s been both progress fundraising and running. I reached a long training run of just under 11 miles (10.75 according to the GPS) on Saturday for my longest run since Sept. However, I am more excited of the run I had this morning. While it was only about 6.5 miles, it was the first time yet I have felt really good running. I wasn’t winded , sore or thinking of my healing (or healed) foot. I just ran. And it was great. I definitely needed that one.

On the fundraising side, I have begun chipping away at my $10,000 goal. As I am writing this, I have raised $655. Thanks to everyone who has made a donation so far. Someone asked me recently why I set my goal so high. Well, I’ve been volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association for the last 3 years and have seen some of the important services and resources they provide those affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and their families. It’s a pretty amazing organization. I set my goal at $10,000 because I want to make a contribution and if I can, I hope to be able to raise even more than this. If you haven’t visited my fundraising page yet, please take a look. I think if I raise $2000 by the end of the month I get some free shoe laces or something, so help me out!
