Greetings, well week 4 of my marathon training is over. Last week I ran a total of 48KM, with a long run of 13K. Since there was snow on the ground yesterday running pace was a touch slower then normal. Next week the kilometers start to build as we are going to be doing 16K.
I also will be helping the Learn to Run Clinic at the Running Room here in Halifax. Will be leading some of the runs, this will be fun to help those who are just starting out the adventure of running. Helping new runners will be rewarding as it helps keep me motivated.
While I do not have any money in the pot for Team Diabetes yet, I have two great donations for my silent auction for May. First Marlin Keesler who ran 50 marathons in 50 States donated to Family signed copies of his book “Our Life on the Run: a Story of Running 50 Marathons in 50 States–A Family Quest, Thanks Marlin.
Second John Stanton owner and CEO of the Running Room, kicked in some great items, these include a signed copy of his book, running room Hat, shirt and socks. He also through in a voucher for a clinic for one lucky person, does not get any better then that.
Still waiting to hear if Lance Armstrong responds as well as Stephen Furst (National Lampoons Animal House, Babylon 5) and Halle Berry (X-Men), the latter two have diabetes themselves. I am hoping that all three will throw something in for the Auction
Please donate through the website https://ocp.diabetes.ca/pledge/cspledge.asp?prId=td&oId=940684&tId=5916 any amount would be appreciated. Tomorrow we will pick up on principle #5 of running.
