26.2 Sweet Miles

Washington DC, DC 20037

United States

Hi All, I'm going to drag my butt for 26.2 miles around our nation's capital. I'm trying to raise money for this amazing charity called Alex's Lemonade Stand, which raises money to help fight childhood cancer. The Foundation funds cutting-edge research and also helps pay for children and their families to travel to receive the best medical treatment around. It is a truly inspirational group. I hope you'll visit their website and be inspired. I'm looking for donations (even $5 bucks would be brilliant), but good vibes help too... or better yet... volunteer some of your time for a similar cause. Big hugs for all your help, brendan

Moving house, moving cities, moving jobs... not much time for blogging but I have been waking up and putting some miles in. Today I ran in the Louisville Downtown Doubler 30K (18.6 miles). It was a great event with about 700 runners. At mile 14 Leigh, Sayre, Austen, Kellen were there to cheers me on, along with my in-laws Joan and Paul, and my cousins Aynsley and Tom. They also cheered me home at mile 18.6 too. The weather was perfect 60 degrees and a slight rain made the last few miles feel great. The moment wasn't even spoiled by the fact I was running!

More soon.

July 25th

Morning Run - 10 long miles. I made Oliver (the dog) run to the woods with me this morning despite the heat index of close to 90 degrees. He had fun chasing the local deer. I didn't have fun chasing after him. An hour and a half after I started I came back to lay in an ice cold bath... pretty sure I wouldn't train for another marathon. Sayre, my son asked, "Daddy where were you?"

I said, "I was out running real far."

He said, "Why?"

I didn't have a good answer. I asked him if I could have a few days to think about it. he said, "OK."
