Well those of you following me know I have been very busy since racing for ALSF in January in Disney world. I ran all four races and at the final few miles of the marathon, I pulled my IT band in my right leg. Well I did three and half months of rehab with an amazing physical therapist. I did my first 10k on mother's day weekend with great time of just one hour.
I just did a half marathon on July 4th. I added this race as part of my 50 mile challenge for ALSF. I am doing a fundraiser right now... it is a virtual race where you can run, walk, bike, skip, hike, to earn a beautiful medal... here is the link for those who want to see it. http://tinyurl.com/active-americarun I am offering a 5.00 off link for July the code is ALSF.
Anyways, I ran the 4th of the July and went slower than I wanted to.. but it was a good time and great weather for a long run. This past weekend I ran a 5k with my hubby at the Summer steamer and met a few runners there that are doing the celebrate america run fundraiser...

Anyways, the training is still continuing as this weekend a long run of 11 miles in the books to come. Hopefully will be running with family to make the time pass. I wanted to let you know there are two girls I am devoting my runs to this month... Savannah and Kiley who have different types of cancer...

It is only two weeks after training for a year that I finished my first Marathon. Jan. 8th - 12th , I participated in the Dopey Challenge at Disney World. I ended up running 46.2 miles! That week was incredible. It was an honor that I ran for Childhood Cancer and for all the kids who were being honored in my virtual race!
I am so glad that all of you helped in so many ways.... donations, encouragement, and simply just being there for me. A big thank you to my family who encouraged me so much along the way.
So what is next you ask.. I am now running the Dumbo Dare in California! This will be 20 miles in two days. I hope you will join me to support Alex Lemonade Stand...
Training will begin in two weeks- I hope to list all my updates here on the fundraising page. I am looking to do another virtual race again. More information to come...
