Well, it's time to buckle down and head toward the finish line! I have just under 2 months left to train for the 50 mile trail run on LookOut Mountain. 58 days to be exact! Wow! That's crazy! But so exciting too!
I've had some great runs and races over the last month. (yeah, I'm not good at keeping up with my blog :-( ) My longest run so far has been a 20 miler. I did it, and I was still able to walk the next day!! That is a huge thing for me! I also ran my 3rd Women's Half Marathon in Nashville with a PR of 2:26, and again...NOT SORE! Yay!! Even though I can run long distances, it's still not easy! But it's so worth it to be healthier in body AND in mind!
Brandon and I are running the Richmond VA marathon in November. Now that's my kinda date! Woohoo! This will be his 1st marathon and I'm sure he'll do great. He's hoping to break 4 hours. This is my 2nd and I hope to break the 7 hr time I ran the trail 26.2 in. Richmond is fast and flat. Hopefully I'll break 7hrs big time!!
*Why am I doing this?
-Here's why-
"Globally, preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death. By conservative estimates, these disorders are responsible for 76,000 maternal and 500,000 infant deaths each year."
I was one of the lucky ones. I survived Preeclampsia & Eclampsia with all 3 of my pregnancies. Some are not so lucky! Together we can help to find a cure.
In honor of my 40th birthday this year, I'm raising $2012 for the Preeclampsia Foundation. We're almost there.....kind of. To date the total raised is: $150. (that I know of) We've got a ways to go but I'm sure, with your help, we can reach $2012!
