I'm back on the trail! If you look closely you can see one of the perks of the trail, a little doe staring at me. I saw one just like her last year on a drizzly day too. It's a beautiful place to train for the big event.
It's been a very busy month at work. I work at a college and Saturday is graduation. This week has been full of celebrations and year end events so it has been tricky getting in the miles. Tuesday morning I logged 8 miles before work! "How long does it take you to do that?!" people ask me. Well I'll tell you, quite a bit of time! If I can average 17-18 minutes a mile I'm doing well. Keep in mind it's important to stop, stretch and grab a snack every so often. Today I walked another 8 miles and broke it up by enjoying a PB&J next to a pond. It isn't hard to do this when you have such beautiful scenery to distract you. Of course audio books on the iPod help a lot too.
I'm almost half way to my fundraising goal with just two months left to go YIKES! Lots more training to get to only 35 miles logged so far. When I reach 100 I get to break in my new sneakers, can't wait.
