half marathon

Hello Readers As I mentioned in my last post I have decided to run a half marathon, the training is going well its the fundraising that is the issue, I knew that it was the part that was going to worry me, running I don't normally do but I think I am pretty good at it, I am running about 3-4 miles 4 times per week and this is week 3 of 16. My legs are holding me up well and my new shoes are carrying me swiftly. the weather isn't cooperating though its been less than 22 degrees and snowing for most of my runs. I will let you know how things go this weekend, I have to push my run limit to 5 miles. thanks for reading.

I'm back and running again

So my last post was run day 60, that's all I could make before I got to busy and the streak was broken. well I'm back on the blog. This is a new year with a new adventure, I have decided to run a half marathon for the Crohn's and Colitas foundation. There is a full training program which is forcing me to stay on pace and its for a good cause. So far I have raised $1168 dollars for the organization but I still have more to go. My fundraising site is www.tinyurl.com/chicagopete if you are interested in making a tax deductible donation. Outside of running again I am still in school working on my mechanical design degree and I have moved up in my company to a product specialist, I have left home depot and I now am enjoying my weekends off to spend with my daughter who is almost 2. thanks for listening. And if you want to donate thanks for your support.
