Training Day 76

12 miles today! 150 miles total so far!

Training Day 69!

In just a few days we will be at the halfway point of our training - that is hard to believe! We are running over 20 miles a week total now. This morning we ran 10 miles at the reservoir. We have been running out there on Saturdays for about a month, it’s a nice change of pace from our day-to-day runs. We have been very blessed during the month of July – every week for our Saturday morning "long run" there has been a great breeze and the temperature has been relatively low for this time of year. (Who really believes in global warming??) Next Saturday is 12 miles and then 15 the next – ahh!

Please continue keep us in your prayers. In some ways this challenge is getting harder rather than easier as time goes on. We have both dealt with serious injuries from the running and as the runs get longer we have to be careful. Pray that we will build up the endurance to finish this race strong and that we will be free from pain and injury! Another thing is that our fundraising has pretty much come to a halt and we are still far short of our goal. We lack over $2,000 of the required amount we have to raise and we are $5,000 short of our personal goal. Please pray that we will have direction about where to go next to raise money.

Thanks for checking in on us!!

Training Day 56 - 1/3 of the way....

We have reached the 1/3 mark on everything -
- we are over one third of the way through training, 91 days to go
- we ran 8 miles Saturday, a third of the 26 we will run at the marathon
- we have raised $3800, over one third of our $10,000 goal

Thank you for your continuing support!!
