Training Day 98

Well here we are, day 98 of the intense training. On Saturday Lindsey and I ran at 4:15 am…that is a long time before the sun even thinks about shining in Mississippi. But, by 7:45 I had run 14 miles and Lindz had run 16 miles. Okay so she did better than me…a lot better!

We really appreciate all the generous donations from our many friends and our generous family. We are nearing our fundraising goal everyday, and it will be so gratifying to complete the financial part of this effort.

The Mississippi heat has proven to be more of an obstacle than we initially anticipated. At around 8 am it is around 95 degrees. Okay so maybe 85, but it is just too hot. We are doing just fine, as long as we can finish before the sun gets up we will make it…I think.

We ran in the Surviving The Sizzle “fun run” on Friday night, that was fun. I was 145 out of about 180. The temp was around 95 and the humidity was at 65% I think. But, it was a nice FUN RUN.
