Although I'm on-call this weekend, my hope is to get in a long run. I don't even care about the weather - it's about getting enough time. My Tuesday and Thursday runs have been going quite well. The five mile loops are done in 53-55 minutes. So I'll check in again soon and hopefully have something good to report. The race is five weeks from tomorrow!

For those of you that are willing to contribute to Brian's Legacy, fundraising starts during the first week of November. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Half Way Point

If my calculations are correct, the race is six weeks from tomorrow. So far, the longest distance "ran" is 14 miles; the fastest time on the five-mile loop is 53 minutes; 20 pounds of excess weight shed; current category: clydesdale. There have been a few bumps along the way, but all things considered, it seems like it is going pretty well. I have high hopes for the next two weeks as we close out October and get into the home stretch.

The pictures from the photo shoot are still in development. Believe me, I'm as anxious as you are. How was the lighting? Was the outfit color-coordinated properly given the angle of the morning sun. Lots of questions that are soon to be answered. Thankfully, the film has been insured.

Pretty good week

After the high of the photo shoot on Monday, I "ran" another 5 mile route later in the week, and I am proud to report a new personal best on that route: 55 minutes! That's two minutes less than the previous best. And then this morning: 14 miles and it took about three hours. In spite of the soreness, I am feeling pretty good about this right now.
