Only a month and a half till the Marathon! I have a feeling this will be my only marathon but it is still a check off an item on my bucket list. The runs are now taking up to 2.5 hours and this week we are running 15 miles. That is now the longest I will have ever run at one time! It has been a big stress reliever for me lately and has been a positive goal to motivate me forward. It has also been beneficial that I am running for a charity. I can't do a half hearted job or skip long run days when my supporters have donated to a great cause on my behalf. Cancer Survivors are tough tough people and I want to make them proud and have at least half of their tenacity. If you would still like to donate (I still have a long way to my fundraising goal) here is the link to my personal fundraising page with the American Cancer Society:

Thank you to all who have donated and are supporting me in this run!
The Virginia Pilot ran an article about Melissa and my team "Dummies running for our Mummies" on Sunday 9/13 on the front page of the Kempsville Beacon section. Woot!
In July, Ava slammed a glass door on my toe . It is still swollen today so when I went to the doctor they confirmed it was broken. I'm now taping it for long runs but that is about all you can do with a broken toe. Honestly, when you start to run over 10 miles you just need to wear closed toed shoes. My feet look like troll feet now. It ain't pretty. Let's not even talk about chub rub either!
