Training is going great!

I feel like such a slacker for not having updated this in a couple weeks. Two Saturdays ago, we walked right here in Santa Rosa on my trusty creek trail, and it was very good. I didn't have any pain at all and actually was going fairly fast, so that's cool.

Just this past Saturday, I was up in Wiemar visiting family, so I did my miles on their road. Holy cow! I didn't get the usual pain, but it was very hard. It was also good for me. The town is at about 2300 feet, plus they live at the top of a hill/mountain. I was not about to have the hill be my last mile, so I drove to the bottom and walked out to the main road and back, then up the hill, back down, out and around for my last 4 miles. Obviously, I wasn't going uphill the whole way, but even the road that seems flat when driving on it turns out to have an incline.

It was nice because Kecia walked with me for 3 miles, and company always helps. And just walking to the end of the driveway is an adventure, so my body is definitely sore in different ways this week.

What do I see on our training calendar for this Saturday? Hill. Oh, yippee. Hey, I'll just be really, super ready for that hill come race day.

My fundraising isn't going too swiftly right now. I appear to be having a bit of a lull. If you haven't donated yet, please consider what you can give, and if everyone could please pass the word on to people that would be willing to help, that would be appreciated.
