Run Update!

Hi Guys,

For those of you who've been following you've watched me progress from measly 3 mile runs to stellar 15 mile runs! Last Saturday I ran 15 1/2 miles along the beautiful downtown Portland waterfront with my fellow TNTers...

I'm getting speedy! I've not only stepped up the distance over the course of this training season, I've also stepped up the pace! I'm running an 8:50 mile! :-)

Running has definitely become the center of my thoughts. Mid week runs average about seven miles bringing me in at about 30 miles a week! I know, you think I'm crazy, right?!

I've had the chance to meet some remarkable people this season. People fighting Leukemia, fighting for loved ones or even running in memory of lost loved ones. I have also made friends for life and we're still only half way through the season!

So far I have run a total of 168 training miles and I'm about to add another 15 to that tomorrow morning. I've never felt better!

So now the fundraising begins. My goal is $5,000 by October 17th...race day!

If you haven't already, please visit www.ChelseaCarlsson.com to donate and help support me as I run to find a cure for leukemia and lymphoma!
