WEEK 14 UPDATE

Hi all. So this post comes to you a little late this week. I have just now finally unburied my computer after having moved out of my apartment this past weekend and back home for the summer. So, I'm finally taking the time to sit down and write. This past weekend was definitely busy but I still managed to get in my long run on Saturday. All day Friday/Saturday was spent moving my stuff out. I took a break on Saturday morning to go run but proceeded to get to run at least 14 miles in the pouring down rain. It definitely felt longer (and took longer) than what 14 miles should take but that's how long they said it was. I was supposed to get in 16 but I had to be back by noon to move out of my apartment before they fined me. After running I sat on the interstate for at least 40 minutes going less than 5 miles (they decided to pave I-75/85 in the middle of the day) and I got back late to check out but they were nice and let me get by without a fine. So this week has just been spent so far unpacking and looking for a job. It's hard to believe the marathon is less that 4 weeks away now! Wow - time sure has gone by fast. Upon waking up on Sunday morning I realized my right ankle was sore like my left one had been earlier in the season. I've just gone easy on it so far this week and I'm just praying that it is nothing serious and feels better fast, I can't afford to lose training time at this point!

But on a more happy note, schools out AND I have officially surpassed my fundraising goal!!! I have to admit starting out was a little intimidating thinking that I had to raise $4000 but with the help of such amazing people such as yourselves it all became possible! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER!! Be on the lookout soon for my naming of the Erin Mile Sponsors. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful and caring people in my life. Hope you have a week that is practically perfect in every way :).
Love,
Denise
