Thanks to this week's donors! And where are those training miles?

First, we would like to thank the following people for the generous donations they made this week: Laura N., Melissa J., Tina D. & Harv & Elaine W. We are now at $437.00! Again, we could not do this without your support and appreciate you very much! Please continue to check our blog & to spread the word about our cause so that we can reach our lofty goal.

Now, you may be wondering why those training miles aren't changing...here's the scoop. I (Kelly) have had this respiratory crud for weeks now and I can hardly breathe just standing still, let alone while running! I am nervous about having lost 3 weeks of training time, however, I am fortunate that this was pre-pre-marathon training. My actual schedule for the official 16 weeks of pre-marathon training starts the first week of April. So please cross your fingers that my lungs are fully functioning by then (and that my legs haven't grown accustomed to this sedentary state).

Abby has been adding some occasional miles as of late, however, her unfortunate news is that she was permanently laid off from her full-time, scientist job due to the poor economy. While you might think she has extra time to run, the reality is that she has been busy job hunting, updating her resume, preparing for interviews, etc. If you know of someone who could use her expertise, please e-mail us.

Despite our recent setbacks were have NO doubt that we WILL complete our marathon! When there are 3,200 Red Arrow soldiers sacrificing for us, this is the least we can do! Print this post
