I'm back!! After two weeks off of my legs because of numbness in my feet and shin splints, I am back on my feet. I felt great on Sunday when Alfredo and I went on a hike and a trail run in Mission Trails. Then I ran 4 miles on Wednesday and although there was discomfort, my lungs felt strong. Yoga, cycling and strength training has really helped me out. I'm a little nervous for this weekend's long run, but I'm gonna take it easy and cover the distance.
This is the first time I have attempted to run a marathon, it is a big scary task. Sometimes I think about the distance (26.2 miles!) and I am truly petrified. But then I think about the support I have been receiving from friends and family, and I get a boost of energy, lace up my shoes and get out there to pound the pavement.
I know everyone is struggling right now, which is why every donation I've received is so extremely valuable and appreciated. In a time when every financial investment seems to be going down the tubes, its great to know that an investment in a child's art education is never EVER going to lose its value.
Over to the right I have a list of our wonderful sponsors, they all deserve a jump double high five!
There is also a meter where you can see how close (or far) we are from our goal. As you can see, we still need more sponsorships, so send in your donation today!
