Last week we enjoyed a respite from daily life with a trip to SW Michigan. We visited Holland, Saugatuck, South Haven and Grand Haven. We had a great time and photos of the girls can be seen at dh-thisismylife.blogspot.com. Walking was plentiful, running was sparse. First of all, I forgot to pack my Mizuno Wave Alchemy running shoes. Not much chance of me running in flip flops so we stopped at Shoe Carnival on our way to Michigan Adventure. I picked up a pair of Asics Gel-Kahana 3's. Turns out the Asics are more of an all terrain shoe but the price was right given the circumstances so I pulled the trigger on the purchase. I ended up running in them once during our vacation.
Marathon training officially starts next week. I am looking forward to the rigors of training and the sense of accomplishment that I will get from running another 26.2 for the NF Endurance Team. If you would like to see a video of the course for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon (forever more referred to as IMM in this blog) then go to www.monumentalmarathon.com. The video is on the lower right side of the page.
I have set a modest goal of $262.00 to be raised for the IMM in support of NF Research. 26.2 X $10 per mile. Feel free to sponsor me for a mile or a portion of a mile. The donation page can be found here: http://www.active.com/donate/nfraceforresearch09/ar3nf. You will notice that the page is purple this time since that is Anneliese's favorite color.
See you on the roads.
