Today I managed to push myself through 15 miles. The humidity was horrible and it made me feel like I had someone on my back the entire time. I ran it in 3 hours and 28 minutes. After not running for 2 weeks, it was tough. It was also a reminder of how important those daily small runs are. I am going to make a promise to get to the gym to do those shorter runs more often. Now that Faith is back in school, it's a little difficult to juggle everything. I am only about $900 away from my fundraising goal. I believe it's attainable. I just need to get pushing! My problem is I hate asking people for money. :\ I can sell them something b/c their money is going towards something tangible. But, asking for "freebies" isn't my forte. What people don't realize is, I am actually earning it by running and doing all this training.

Well, see you all next run! :)
