After a much needed day of rest, I hit the pavement for day 5 of training today. It was a beautiful evening for a run and, accompanied by some Thousand Foot Krutch, I hammered out another 4 miles in the neighborhoods around my apartment. I was in the mood for a bit more than that, however, so I decided to hit the gym for a little stationary bike/stairmaster cross-training. I think that my muscles are definitely getting in shape quicker than my respiratory system so my lungs are struggling a little to keep up. My plan is to keep shocking my systems for the next week or two, combining strong first mile times with longer than usual distances.
An update on fundraising:
A bit of good news - I have heard from a handful of friends that have said they plan to support my efforts with a donation and I am very thankful for their generosity. It is very encouraging to know that this is touching some people; together I think we can make a positive difference in the lives of some children. I am not sure where I'm at with donations but will check on that this weekend and provide an update on here. Thanks again to all that have donated, are planning to donate and that are checking this blog.
Also, I have posted the "In the Red" article that I mentioned in my last blog so if you're interested in reading it, click the link to your right.
