Ouch!

Hi everyone! If you have been logging in to check our training logs you will see that I have no new mileage :( I tried to run the Monday after the Crazylegs & my ankle was shot! I'm guessing it was from weaving in & out of people during the race...those aren't movements I practiced during my training runs but obviously I will have to do some conditioning now that I know the hazards of race day. I haven't been able to run all week & have seen a podiatrist who has recommended lighter training & some physical therapy. I do plan to try a short run today to test out my recovering limb.

Abby, on the other hand (or should I say foot), has been logging some serious miles since her return from visiting Casey in Texas. Regardless, she is still nervous about the upcoming half-marathon and so am I - please continue to wish us luck!

We would like to thank Lisa N. for her generous donation to the Running 4 Red Arrows cause - she, along with all the others who have already donated, are the reason we have been able to achieve $758.20 in funds so far. Donations have dwindled over the past few weeks so if you have been waiting to send yours in we'd love to get that thermometer bumping up again. Perhaps you could take up a collection at work to sponsor a mile or organize a bake sale to benefit our cause, get creative - anything you can do to help will be SO appreciated by the soldiers & their families. We had hoped to get halfway to our goal by the half-marathon...that means we need to more than double our current amount. We would need $841.80 by May 24th!! That is also Memorial Day Weekend - so what a tribute to our fallen soldiers if we could achieve that.

Runners - we have a fundraising opportunity for you - details will be posted by the end of this week so keep checking back or sign-up for our feed and the latest info will be sent right to your e-mail. Thanks everyone! Print this post
