Welcome to my training blog. I've been posting my mileage and thought here as I participate in a marathon training program that started in June and takes me right up to the marathon: through 18 weeks, 435 miles, and countless Calories. Check back whenever you're interested to know more about my training milestones and challenges!

I've partnered with Center for Independent Futures, a non-profit organization which offers progressive programming aimed at giving individuals with disabilities access to the skills and opportunities to realize a full life. Please help support my fundraising and donate to CIF.

If you're still feeling flush after helping me reach my fundraising goal, there are a few things I could use myself for my running. Here's my wishlist.

All Downhill From Here

13.4 miles! Today was the longest I've ever run! Also, it was a little more than half a marathon. We finished in 2:16:43, which is pretty darn close to my goal split-time of 2:11.

One of my running mates said that she felt a little unsure after completing the run. I admit, I too was feeling a little sore and certainly didn't want to do another 13, but I gotta tell you: I felt confident. I have 10 weeks of training ahead of me and I feel pretty solid.

Oh, right, except for my darn ankle. I've decided to take 7-12 days off just to give it a solid chance to calm down. I'd hate to have to take that kind of time off in a month from now when my mileage will be half again what it is now.
