I just completed my first weekend of big training mileage. I did 10 miles on Sunday and 7 miles today. It was exhausting but felt great at the same time. My legs and feet are sore tonight. When I trained and walked the event 8 years ago, I had one blister that was my constant companion. Well it's back in the same spot on the same foot. It's a persistent little booger. I'll consider myself lucky if it's the only significant blister problem I have. Up this next weekend is 11 miles and 5 miles on back to back days.
I'm excited to have already raised over half of the required $2300. I just finished making another 20 dog memory stones over the July 4th weekend. This added to the spring break week and memorial day weekend totals equals a whopping 82 stones made so far. My goal at the start was to make 100 stones. This goal is looking very possible with the labor day weekend offering still coming up. Around 50 letters went out by e-mail or snail mail to friends and family members asking for contributions late last week. I'm excited to see what comes back. Up later this month is a dog wash. Awesome pricing for baths and nail trims and all proceeds go to charity.
Thank you to everyone who has so generously supported me and the cause by making a donation or buying a memory stone, jewelry or candle. I wouldn't be able to do this without your support.
