This week's (Sunday - Saturday) total mileage is 28 miles, with 13 of those miles being done tomorrow for my "long run". I am not yet ready to run this whole distance, but continue to work on endurance with the shorter runs during the week. I am also looking into spinning class to help with endurance. I'm thankful that the temps are looking to be in the 70's tomorrow. The sun and humidity have been kicking my butt. I'm staring down Sept 4th, when I'll be tackling 18 miles that week for the long run...
On the fundraising front, $1313.20 has been officially donated and sent to SBA towards my individual $5000 goal. We have another $314 donated that has come in the past two days. That puts us at 32% to goal. We want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to those who have donated. We appreciate your support of this cause, your support of Emily, and your support for the marathon.
We have 84 days of fundraising left, and every little (or big!) bit counts. To be able to raise $5000 for Spina Bifida Association, and impact the lives of so many (but especially this little ham below) means so very much to us. This is an opportunity of a lifetime!
The total team (5 runners) has $5334.80 in, but there is several...thousand more en-route to SBA, with one team member already meeting and EXCEEDING their individual $5000 goal (AWESOME!!!) - they have set the bar high, and we're hoping to catch up to them!!!
I am looking forward to running this week in Long Island, taking in a change in scenery and seeing Jersey cows and smelling the ocean while I run during the week. And then, I'll be sampling the New Jersey streets for my 10-mile run closing out vacation.
92 days till Joshua and Emily's team for SBA Conquer NYC to Help Conquer Spina Bifida!
