I'm HALF WAY there!!!

What an amazing morning. I woke up to numerous donation emails --- alerting me that donations had been made in my name to Team For Kids. So.....I checked the website and saw that, HOLY SHITE! - I am at my halfway point in fundraising. A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone that has donated.....I have to give a major shout out at this point to my friend Mindy. Min, your generosity in supporting the team and my run is just beyond appreciated. Wow.

Today will be a 3 mile run with some weight/strength training after. Got some veggie pizza for lunch -- will burp a bit and then start my run at 3pm.

If any of you are wanting to fly out for November 5th (ahem! Mom and Dad. Ahem! - sorry, something seems to be caught in my throat.) My mom's last comments about coming to the marathon were, "What do I have to come see ya run 26 miles for? It's just running." Hmmmmmmm. And that's okay, my grandmother is still a bit unsure as to why she might have to give money for me to run. "What does he need money for to run?" Ah, the Malow family!

A couple of friends have offered to become running partners for the duration of my training. If anyone else wants to take a stab at a 3 miler, a 5 miler, 8 miler, 12 miler, 14 miler, 18 miler....you just give me a shout!!!

Run, run, run!!!
