Build Up to June 18th

In the immortal words of Shang Tsung; “It Has Begun”.  On Wednesday I took my first steps towards running my second half marathon.  Once again I will be running the hilly streets of Seattle with my fellow enthusiasts during the Rock and Roll Marathon.  I have decided that this year I would run for Seattle Children’s Hospital instead of World Vision.  Both are definitely great causes but Children’s is a bit closer to my heart.

Running for 13.1 miles is not something everyone can or for that matter would want to do, I mean a person must be crazy to attempt something like that.  However if you are feeling in the mood to do a little bit of cheering, cowbell ringing, high fiving or poster holding I am sure that Lu can give you some pointers.  He (along with mom and dad) did an excellent job last year, even nabbing himself a selfie with another runner.

If you want to take it a step further, or in reality many steps, and run for part of the distance with me I would not object.  I found that last year, even with the bands and cheerleaders on the side of the road, I hit my wall pretty hard.  Having friendly faces jog, or more accurately walk quickly, would not be a bad thing as I head into those harder miles.

Well, it has been a long time since I posted but here you go.
