Run For Anna

The journey began this morning!

So this morning was my last training run!! I had great thoughts throughout, because I have two local businesses sponsoring me and maybe a third and fourth today! Pomod'oros Pizzeria and Hard Roll Deli, two great businesses are helping me help Anna and her family, and I am so grateful! Thursday I embark on the journey, so share the website with as many people as possible, it will be taking donations through the whole challenge. Can we get to $5,000!?!

So it has been a while since I have had an update! Sorry, just been tough with the increased training and the holidays. Anyway, we are 2 weeks away from the big challenge!! We are very close to the $4,000 mark, so please share the website as we make a final push with 2 weeks to go!

There is only one month before the event! Training increases in intensity over the next 3 weeks, embarking on two 18 mile runs followed by increased miles during the week.. The end of the month I will slowly decrease the miles up to the Challenge at the beginning of January. So as I ramp up the training please share the website with everyone and anyone!!

Hello there! I know it has been a while since an update. I have been struggling with some fatigue issues that I have never had before as a runner, therefore I have had to step back my training. I am pushing through it though and taking small steps forward. Just remember when there is an obstacle in front of you, just continue to move forward even if it is slow and small. People like Anna and also her parents teach me that, they were presented with challenges they probably thought there was no way they would get through, yet they did! Look what they have become, a gorgeous and beautiful family! I am grateful to know them...

Training has taken an unexpected turn due to excessive fatigue in legs, piriformis syndrome ,doctors visits and testing supplements and nutrition! This is new for me as in my 7-8 year running career I have never needed to stop for this reason. With the Dopey Challenge fast approaching, I need to get this figured out AND FAST! One week sideline to resume running this weekend....In the meantime, can we get over $3,000! Thanks so much to those who have given to this awesome family!!! Any amount helps and if you could share to spread the word that would be awesome too!!

Okay, so just a brief update on training! 5.3 miles this morning in the dark. In order to get the miles I need for training I have to start early before work. It will get even earlier when I need to log more miles. Here is my lighted vest. SAFETY is a must!

After our first 24 hours we have many donors and supporters!! Thanks so much everyone!
