Saturday Morning Run


This morning I was reminded of what the 5 o'clock hour looks like as we started our 12 mile run a little earlier. We hit the streets at 6:30 and got plenty of practice running hills in preparation for the San Francisco marathon. I was tearin' them up! We completed 12.34 miles in an astonishing 1:40:47 which is my best time...8:10 pace! It was a gorgeous morning, warm but gorgeous.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me achieve 25% of my $3,200 fundraising goal. Still a ways to go so SHOW ME WHAT YA GOT!! So far I have run 236 miles in my 2 1/2 months of training and am just 63 days from race day! To put that in perspective that's like running from Portland to Canada!... or to the border of California for all you Cali folks.

Here's a mid-week shot from track practice! Thanks for following! Until next week!

16 Miles Strong


This morning I had my longest run to date and my fastest time ever! I ran 16 miles in 2:26:58 for a 9:04 pace. At that pace I can finish the marathon in 3:57!!! It was the perfect morning for a run and I got to enjoy it with fabulous people.

This week it has been encouraging to see many of you come alongside me to support me in my fundraising goal of $3200. So far I have run 209 miles and raised $395 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society.

Thank you Kevin and Teri, Dad, Caroline, Dr. Landers, Joan and Brian, Micah and Grandma. You guys are awesome!!!

Tremendous Support

Just got home from 10 HILL SPRINTS with my TNT family and couldn't resist stopping in to the gym for a couple of miles on the way home. I got home not only to a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream, but also to TWO generous donations from amazing friends. I appreciate all of you who are chipping in. If I'm feeling this supported I can only imagine how the recipients of the funds will feel!

Keep on giving and we all win!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
