Well, July is here and the summer is in full swing. I haven't posted here for a little while so an update is in order. Everything is going well. My kids are enjoying the summer vacation and amazingly are doing a lot more outside activities. They love playing on the trampoline and riding their bikes after dinner. I am very happy about that.
My training for the half marathon continues. I have been fitted for my running shoes and love them! They are Asics Foundation 7's. These are really good for the overpronation that I found out that I have. The shoes are great and I want to thank Karl at Front Runner. The folks at Front Runner are the greatest! They take the time to make sure that you get the shoes that are the best for your feet.
In the training realm, I continue to follow my training schedule. Saturday began the steady increase in mileage on the weekends. I did the 3.8 mile trail at Sharon Woods in the heat and humidity in 1:04:38. That is a 17:01 min/mile pace. I began to run out of steam probably at the 3.5 mile mark but did not stop and continued to walk. Overall, I am pleased with the walk.
I completed the Westerville Rotary 4th of July 5K last Wednesday. It was a great morning to have the 5K. Temps in the mid 60's and low humidity. I finished in 50:18 and a 16:12 pace. The next race that I will be in will be the New Albany Walk Classic in September.
My fundraising continues to go well. I am now at $738 of the $1700/$2500 that I need to reach.
