Hi everyone!
Sorry that there has been such a lag in posts. Life has been crazy busy! I have still been running, and now the countdown to the marathon is on!! I figured I would bullet the updates so it would be easier to read.
1. So far, I have raised $1,310 in memory of my Uncle Tom for Team in Training! My goal is to raise $1,500 in his name, so I only have $190 to go. The deadline for donating is coming up soon, so I'm hoping I can make it in time.
2. Running has been going really well! Last weekend, I ran 10 miles in Milford with Tim, Kate, and Sarah. Coach Cindy was there with water stops and bananas and chocolate milk at the finish :) I was really, really happy to hit the 10 mile mark. Almost to 13! I stopped to walk a few times, but overall I was pretty happy. It took me 2 hours and 5 minutes to run the 10 miles. We have a long run next weekend of 12 miles, and then we have a short run after that. The weekend after that is the race! Holy cow!
3. Countdown update: The race is THREE WEEKS from today! I can't wait.
Tonight, Tim's brother Josh came upstairs and mentioned that he was hoping to get a corner desk in his room. I immediately thought of the desk that my Uncle Tom hand made for me when I mentioned that I liked the desk in his daughter Jodi's room. I was really emotional for a minute to think about it in someone else's hands. But I feel happy knowing that even after his passing, my Uncle Tom's craftiness and generosity lives on. And it's moments like that that make me remember why I am doing what I am doing.
Talk to you all soon! Hopefully with an update after my 12 miler next weekend.
GO TEAM! :)
