Making Strides

Miles to date: 201
Money to date: $2,430

So very close to halfway! I set my fundraising goal at $5,000 and at this moment I am only $70 away. This is going towards the best of causes and I could not be happier with the progress that has been made. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, your support is making this all possible.

This past weekend I ran in the Hyannis Half marathon. This is my second time taking part in this race and it remains my favorite half. The conditions were pretty tough as it was a mixture of snow and rain for almost the entirety of the race. That being said, it was a great race. I managed to run a personal best time of 1:55:55. I took over ten minutes off of my time from last year. It's nice to see that all this training is adding up to something.

Now comes the tough part of training. All of the weekend runs are over 12 miles, the long weekday runs are 8 miles or longer and it gets tough to get it all done. The days are getting longer and with any luck the worst of the winter is behind us.
