What a great Thanksgiving vacation we had. I did bring my running shoes but only walked the streets of Forks & LaPush! :)
So Monday, back on track. Lots to do. This Friday is the big Benefit dinner & Silent Auction. We have some AMAZING items & I can't wait. It is going to put me over my goal and then I can concentrate 100% on my training. Also, on Saturday is our 18 mile run. Can't wait!

What an amazing day! I ran 16 miles! Yup 16 miles. My longest run ever. Boy oh boy I am feeling it tho. It was great. It hailed on us, wind and sunny.
The benefit dinner is coming together perfectly. It is going to be a fantastic evening and then the next morning it is our 18 mile run oh yea!

Day hmmmmmm ?

hahahha it has been a week since I have been on here. Crazy how fast time is going. This week I have been hitting it hard getting ready for the dinner benefit. I have been so blessed with the amazing people in my life. Nonie, Jennifer & Lori have been a HUGE HUGE HUGE help. This benefit will be a success because of them. We have some great silent auction items.
Workout has been great. Man was it COLD on Saturday but great run. I did get to the store & got myself a long sleeve running shirt. It is awesome. Another busy week of running, working & getting things ready for the benefit dinner.

Day 77 & 78

Sunday - a day of rest ~ great day of rest scrabble/clue w/ the family
Monday - just a short run little over a mile. Really windy but felt good.

Fundraising is going well. I am getting lots of donation for the silent auction. It is going to be a fantastic evening.

Day 74, 75, 76

Thursday - speed work not as fast as I like but did pretty good 3 miles
Friday - rest day
Saturday - my longest run ever! It rocked 14 miles it was absolutely beautiful running in Boise. I was having some pain in my leg but coach Ann said it is from not stretching enough so I will be doing WAY more stretching. It was great took us 2:34. I am excited about that cause my last 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) was 2:23 so I am improving on my time. I kept a consistent pace of 10:23 per mile. Great run! YEA

Day 73

What a great day. I got some really amazing auction items. Spent the entire day on the computer & getting stuff done! Feel really productive! YEA!!
It was my cross training day & well Mikayla's basketball game lasted way longer so no Rec or workout but that is okay. It was an intense game!!!!

Day 72

Great run this morning did 4 miles with Kyleigh! We were rocking it! YEA.
Got lots done today & got some stuff for the fundraiser! I got some donations for the silent auction yea!! Everything is coming together.
HUGE news. LoneStar Middle School's Leo Club are going to present me w/ a $400 check from their bake sale last week. They wanted it to go thru me! WOW amazing. I feel so blessed. I am invited to a special dinner and they will present me with the check.

Day 71

Had a great run this morning 4.82 miles on the greenbelt. It was chilly but sunny. LOVED IT!!!
Started getting things for the big fundraiser dinner. Got a box to make a donation station for loose change, basket & aprons for the kids to wear while they serve the food. Mikayla is going to design them. Can't wait to see what she does! :)
I am feeling strong & excited! YEA

Day ?

Well after having the swine flu, I had a sinus infection. UGH!!!! I am done being sick.
Saturday I went on my 1st long run w/ the combine Nampa/Boise Team. It was AMAZING 12 miles. It was soooo beautiful running as the sun was rising & seeing it over the lake WOW a great time to run. I felt amazing & only coughed a few times. But finished in 2:10. After that we had a potluck w/ honored patients. After listening to them, I know that I am on the path that God has lead me to. These people are AMAZING and they are who I am running for & why I WILL make my goal. It is the least I can do. They have fought for their lives and I have to fight for them.
So, I am planning a fundraising dinner with some AMAZING friends. Nonie, Jennifer & Lori have stepped in & are going to make this a wonderful night. Mark your calendars for those of you in the area Dec 4th in Dempsey Hall at St. Paul's church it will be a dinner & a silent auction.
Training week starts tomorrow in full swing AGAIN! Can't wait!
