Training Update

Training update (which is really just for my own record since no one really knows about this blog yet)

Longest run: 11 miles (from 10th street all the way up the east river to 96th street and back) at a pace of about 8:45/mile
Fastest pace: 3 miles in 23 minutes (track workout), pace of 7:40/mile

Feeling good on my runs, start my training with Team for Kids on July 8th with a 5 mile timed training run.

Fundraising updates to come (events, plans, etc.)

What I'll look like at the finish line

Let the Blogging (and running) begin

Welcome friends, family and fellow racers! This site will serve as your official update for all things marathon-related (and perhaps an occasional random link). I hope to include photos, training updates, fundraising updates, fun facts, and whatever else pops into my head.

Enjoy!
