Wow, what a week this has been. Our little guy "Rusty" was having some problems and it required us to travel to Loomis CA on Monday and Tuesday to get him the attention he needed. Combine that with getting the flu and then having a really sore back Saturday and now Sunday and you have all the makings of a surrender.
Raise your hand if you might have just given in and walked away at this point and returned to old habits?I know that as recent as a couple years back I would have packed it in and just given up. That is one thing I am working so hard to change with running. I am going to stay the course and cross the finish line in Eugene and finish what I started. I have never had much luck following through with things and am fast to give up.
Not any more!
I am really enjoying this process of building up my strength and ability so that I will be able to complete this first Marathon for me in April. I am pretty sure that when I finish I will feel different because I didn't give up and finished what I started. I will be sharing that excitement with you in photos and stories along the road to Eugene.
Speaking of excitement....
We are almost half way to our goal of $1500.00 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with three more amazing donations coming in in the last couple days. We together have raised $665.00 so far! I think all of you are just amazing. Thank you so much for helping to fund the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's cancer fighters. No sequester here, we are going to work right up until April 28th to do our part. And then maybe we will work beyond as I have signed up for the San Jose Half Marathon and the California International Marathon with maybe a couple more before the end of the year.So I didn't give up and am now more determined to finish what I started and what all of you have supported. On to Eugene!!
Don't forget a donation of any amount will make a difference. $1.00 or $1,000.00 will help.
Don
