5 weeks to go

Are you serious that we are down to 5 weeks to go? I am not even close to being ready. YIKES.
Last week was an off week. We traveled to visit Amy's family and then from there traveled to Raleigh for two days of training/classes for the kitchen design program we use at B&T Kitchens and Baths. During this time it felt as if I regressed a couple weeks so it is time to get on track. Amy continues to do great. We ran at Mount Trashmore this past weekend and I could see Amy on the other end of the park still running as I was walking, pushing the jogging stroller. I guess when i am pushing it, it should be called a walking stroller as that is all i seem to do.
We are working on getting an average time of 13 minutes/mile, which means that we will finish the race in 2 hours, 50 minutes. I know this is slow in the world of running, but we have to start somewhere...We often joke about the professional runners that will pass us as they are on about lap 10 and we are on lap 2. Amy is doing great and can run faster than this...she can comfortably do 12 minute miles. I am lucky to get 13 minute miles. I am good at short distances and sprinting, but these long distances are tough on me. I have yet to figure out my rhythm and how i will make this happen so the next 4+ weeks are very important.

I want to thank everyone who has donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I hope to raise a lot more over the next 4+ weeks. Each time i see a new donation, i really focus on my own goal of making it through the 1/2 marathon and getting in shape for my son, Peyton.

Thanks to all who have donated or are considering donating...I truly appreciate it!

I am going to try to post on here each week and hopefully more leading up to the race.
