On we go with week 5 of our training. Oddly enough week 4 brought our first rainy workout. It was a 70 Minute run on the Burke-Gilman Trail. JL felt very strong and completed about 7.25 miles while Mike also felt strong completing about 7.5 miles. The pace is increasing and this is due to our cardio system strengthening (as well as our legs).
I've added some pictures from earlier runs and clinics. You can see JL showing off for the camera and passing Mike as they end their run.
Here's a picture of our mentors Jacqualynn and Kelly.
I've added our elevation chart for the race so you can see the ups and downs.
Fundraising update:
JL: $1,575.00
Mike: $685.00
JL is keeping a firm hold on the lead as she seems to get a donation for every one Mike gets. Thank you all so far for donating!!
