16 weeks. 110 days to go till Team: "Take That!" takes on the NYC Marathon, and brings in our goal of $50,000 to the National Spina Bifida Association.
Don't you LOVE the wheel?! Thanks to Hayden's super Mommy, Adrienne Trigg, for creating this image for the team.
This is week 3 of training. The past two weeks have gone well, with the heat and humidity as the biggest hurdles. I mean, it's Buffalo - aren't we supposed to have mind summers? This week the forecast has 4 days at 90+ degrees. Lats night at 11:30 PM there was still an air quality alert going on.
Needless to say, my mile times the past two weeks have been less than what I thought they'd be. I'm running slower then I did in April and May, and I was doing very little work back then.
This week was supposed to be my first super-long run, 18 miles. I knocked it down to 14 because I just don't think it's realistic to do 18 at this point, in this heat.
But I am getting pretty tan.
We need a lot of help with our fund raising effort. Thank you to those who have donated to us. We have to reach $5000 with less than 100 days to do so...please go the the SBA website here and make a tax-deductible donation to the SBA, choosing Elizabeth Keicher as your team captain. 100% of you donation goes right to the SBA. And I'll have the silicone bands to sell again this year in two weeks - hot pink, and royal blue, $3 each or 2 for $5. The bands will say:
Team Take That! NYC 11.6.11
This should be a fairly low key week for us, as the Lancaster Art/Craft show was yesterday, putting the past two weeks of craziness behind us. Now if only the website for sassydamsel.com would go live. We are having a meeting with our web designer on Wednesday (finger's crossed) and from there we should be looking at only a few more weeks (maybe even 1-2 weeks...though it's probably a huge jinx to say that...). And Chris and I have a date night this week, reclaiming our youth and seeing the (reunited only for one night) band the Tea Party this weekend.
Until next time!
