runaround & a rundown...

Posted: September 19th, 2006

hi.
thanks again for all of the support. I have now reached the $7500 mark & raised the new fundraising goal to $10,000!

the training runs have been great. looking fwd. to having some of you join me down the road. fwiw, if you are interested in coming along (biking is OK too), I usually leave from the venue @ about noon. I am following the Hal Higdon Intermediate I training schedule, which can be found online at the following link: http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/inter1.html

I just did my 18 mile run yesterday, in Forest Park in Portland. Forest Park is a rainforest within the city limits. It is really amazing. I've also had the pleasure of running along the Willamette in Eugene & along the seawall in Vancouver. Looking fwd. to the rest of the tour.

take care,
al.
