Team Challenge Meet-Up @ Greenlake

A few weeks back I joined Team Challenge to raise money for Crohn's and Colitis research.

We are going to run the Las Vegas Half Marathon in December and my goals is to raise 3500 dollar. The half marathon is going to be one week after the Seattle marathon. Fun! :)


Please donate here now and help me reach my goal and help find a cure for Crohn's and Colitis diseases:

We meet up in the morning and ran around Greenlake together. I decided to run back home from there. Was a great 11 miles run, came back on Stone Way, headed over to Gas Works Park and to the University District then up to Capitol Hill, Volunteer Park. Awesome.

On Sunday I did a 6 mile run and during the week I ran twice in the morning 4.4. miles. I have the feeling that my pace increases with the morning runs. :)

Total mileage: 899.1 miles

Couple of runs....

In preperation for the Seattle Marathon, I need to slowly ramp up on my weekly mileage again. This means running more in the morning during the week. Also went to Super Jock'n'Jill to get new running shoes, my old ones carried me for about 500 miles... This time I got Brooks.
