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.

Getting back in the swing

7.85 miles in 1:13:04. I was about five minutes fast. My pacing is getting better, but is still really a weak point. My friend told me that for every minute you run fast in the beginning, you make up for it with four minutes slower in the end. While the numbers are pretty solidly old-wive's-taley, the idea rings true. Gotta work on pacing.

Oh, this was also the longest I've ever run on my own. Luckily that's not the longest, period, but still kinda cool to think about. Also, my iPod died halfway through, so it kinda a sinking ship.
