57 Days Until the Free Press Half

Training is going well so far, even through the heat of the Summer. I'm still building up in miles for the next month, but looking forward to running in my first half marathon on October 21st.

The one thing I haven't done is turn back on my fund raising efforts for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, largely because I didn't really know if my knee was up to it. While I still feel I'm not at 100%, twice a day stretching and other exercises keeps the knee from complaining.

I am blessed to have had so many generous contributors to my first effort and thankfully the bulk of those funds have been transferred to this event. That said, I still need to raise $384 in the next 57 days.

Next Saturday, I'll be working a parking lot at Arts, Beats & Eats for 8 hours which will help, but I'll still be $300 shy. Time to kick things up a notch because until there's a cure, there is NO finish line!
