Hi folks,
My parents found out about this woman in Maine who is running the US Olympic Marathon trials in Boston (the same weekend as the Boston Marathon). She is doing a fundraiser for the Maine Children's Cancer Program because her daughter is undergoing treatment for childhood leukemia. You should check our her website:
http://twotrials.org/.
It's really inspiring. She has a training blog on there telling about her daily runs, as well as a blog about her daughter's treatment. Seriously, both in the intensity and volume of her training and in the other stuff she's dealing with on a day-to-day basis, it makes what we're doing look like a piece of cake!
I had a fabulous weekend of skiing with Megan and Liz in Colorado (and five days off of running!). We did do some cross-country skiing on Sunday, which was a blast. Now I'm refreshed and ready to get back into it...nine miles this afternoon. Hope you all are having a good week. Caput and Stef, I am amazed at your early wake-ups! I hate doing speedwork in the morning because of that tired, dazed feeling. Easier runs I can handle...I just go really slow though!
