Unbelievably, amazingly, I have passed the half way point – not in terms of miles, by any stretch – but in terms of days. As of this morning, I have trained more days than I have left to train. On the fundraising side, well, obviously we're not quite there yet, but I know that number will start to ratchet up quickly as the final weeks approach.
I have to be pretty quick with my post tonight. Not a lot of time, and a lot of stuff to do. Blogger's even being quirky tonight. It won't upload pictures.
Spent a nice weekend at the in-laws cabin this weekend on the Mogollon Rim. It was in the 110s here - and 79 and raining when we got there. Amazing what a 90-minute drive can do in Arizona. We had a very relaxing Saturday; went hiking, played Wii bowling with Beckett, went to nice mountain restaurant with a patio. Heidi and I had a beer; Beck and Brody had french fries and ice cream which, as anybody knows, is the kid equivalent of having a beer.
I've been getting faster - much faster. I can run a 7:03 mile now. I haven't been that fast since I was 12, when I ran a 5:59. It's hard to believe I used to run a 5:59-mile when I was 12, but it's true. I once placed 7th in the county in New Jersey in the county-wide championship.
Anyway, I've gotta go do the dishes now.
Cheers,
Ed
