I am happy to report that the half marathon training has been a little better than the dieting. I am trying to keep up a schedule of a 30 - 40 min run every other day with one long run on the weekends. That worked well for me last year. I am 13 or 14 weeks away from race day and I really need to kick it into high gear if I am going to improve on my time from the last race. Fundraising has been great. I am amazed at people's willingness to sponsor me and support St. Jude. It really is such a great hospital so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the support, but as you guys know I am a born pessimist. Way to restore my faith in humanity friends! So as of right now we have raised $350 of the $500 I have pledged before race day! If some of you bloggy folks are feeling generous and want to help me reach the goal you can click on this link to make a donation for the kids of St. Jude!
Kindergarten and marathon training have left little time for remodeling. There is so much to do in our new house. In the first 2 months of calling this home the most progress we have made has been to draft our very long to-do list. I have been a little lazy and slow when it comes to painting (which is the closest thing to using my degree as I get to these days). I have ALMOST finished the master bed and bath and then I will be able to move on to the other 8 or 9 rooms that need painting. Super fun.
