time to ask for money.

i am running a half marathon in five weeks.

the goal is to raise money for water filtration systems in kenya.

i don't have to tell you that the need is great.

this is my fundraising page.

what is amazing to me is that the entire race benefits world vision's work.

(an organization that i am personally fond of through the life and memory of my dear friend matthew)

there are not many races out there that benefit christian organizations. i was pretty excited about this. i'm even coaching the training group on saturdays. it has been a really great experience to encourage runners who have never done something like this before. but while i can do the training, i need people to help fund the run. the cost of the race only covers putting on the race..... anything that is to go to world vision has to come through fundraising.

please consider donating.

so, how is my training going?

i did 6.6 miles this weekend...... half way point.

it was a spectacular day! i had a great run other than my hip hurting me on mile 5.

i am getting nervous about the race especially since weather has been stinky up here. canceling two weekend runs and my weekday runs have been very limited - rain, snow, wind, cold.

anyway...... five weeks to go.

think about donating.
