During next run:
Bring something you can spray or hit mean dogs who want to chase/try to bite you with.
Try to avoid wet grass at all cost.
Bring something to hold your cell phone other then your hand.
Remember to wear your IT band brace.
When you hit your first "wall" at 3.25 miles remember it is okay to stop and walk a minute or two because that will only allow you to run farther. Because remember, you have 13.1 miles to run on race day and you are sure to walk a little.

Running progress.
"Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring." -Jimmy Carter
Today, I needed this quote before my run. Sure, I ran according to my training guide but the run kind of sucked. I wasn't focused. I wasn't able to feed Teagan at lunch because she was asleep and feeding/cuddling with her in the middle of the day just does something good to my soul. I wasn't able to block out the spiderweb of thoughts in my head. Okay, enough of my rainy day blues mood.
Training is going pretty well. I've condensed an 8 week program into a 6 week program because I didn't have to start out on the initial building up from scratch thing. I've been in "official" training mode since Tuesday (oddly enough by the program Monday was a day of rest). I'm feeling pretty good. My IT (iliotibial) band is acting up again but should be fine if I remember to wear my brace when I run. That 13.1 number is kind of daunting but I'm determined to cross the finish line running on December 12th.
I am however, kind of disappointed in the fundraising. I plan on starting letters this evening to send out to people. I realize the holiday's are racing (no pun intended) upon us but all I'm asking for is, well anything. $1-$1,000 will be gladly accepted. Also, for any runners (or non-runners) who would like to join my "team" on Crowdrise I would really appreciate it. Or if you would just like to help raise money or awareness! Just let me know!
