Heading to Disney...

It has been about a month since I posted last so I wanted to give an update on how I am progressing before we leave for Disney on Tues. Thanks to an amazing response from so many people I have reached out to for support I have crossed the $3,300 mark in donations which is absolutely amazing and I would like to thank everyone again who supported me. Over the past month I have been building my mileage up to 45-50 while running 6 days/wk. I am doing back to back 12s on Sat and Sun in preparation for a little slowdown in when we go to Disney but I plan to do daily 5 mile runs early in the AM while we are there. We can't wait - everyone is getting so excited, only 4 more days!!!

When we get back I have a couple weeks left of base building before I start into the 18-wk training plan that I am going to be following for the marathon. It is broken up into 4 phases and the 3rd phase (the most demanding) is going to be during the heart of the Maine winter so I have quite a challenge ahead of me. I went out for a 8 mile run this AM in the cold rain and gusty ocean wind and got a taste of what it will be like training through the long cold winter but I will tough it out for such an awesome goal only a few months away. Thanks again to everyone for supporting me and following my journey...
