Well, we've begun the daunting task of fundraising and training to run the Mayor's Marathon in Anchorage, AK.
Our first two weeks have consisted of 30 minute runs on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our first Saturday run was 40 minutes and yesterday was 50 minutes. We've started at a slow pace, about 10 minutes per mile, so you can calculate how many miles we are doing (30 minutes=3 mi., 50 minutes=5 miles). We had a shoe clinic yesterday and learned about buying the right running shoes. Then we did one of our favorite things, we bought new shoes (a famous Allen family tradition).
On the Fundraising end. JL is kicking Mike's butt. Currently:
JL - $1,000
Mike - $340
