01.28.2010 - 10 miles this week so far

well this is week 3 and things are getting better. this week was a long and hard week. we had a 75 minute run on sunday after the retreat so we made it monday after the retreat. there was no was we were going to run on the treadmill that long so we ran outside for 45 minutes and finished the rest of it on the mill. it wasn't too bad at all. then the next day you can imagine how stiff everything was and to have to go out again on wednesday morning to run a 40 minute run was death. there was so many times i thought about stopping and quitting, but i pushed through.

a big part of this half marathon is raising money for the 30 hour famine. it is the 2 days before the race and i am super pumped about the experience. we want to raise $1000 i think so that we can feed kids in poverty. it takes $30 to feed and take care of a kid for a month through worldvision. i want my life to count for something and i want to be able to say that i made a difference in someone's life. so check out www.30hourfamine.org and see what they are all about. tomorrow we have another 40 minute run before our 5K on saturday morning for the atlanta union mission.
