It's hard to believe that the marathon is just 8 weeks away -- yikes!! I've been doing really well with my training. Last weekend I ran 17 miles and I'll do 20 this coming weekend. And that will be my longest run until marathon time (woohoo!!). I'll be doing my annual 18-mile LBI Run, which I highly recommend for anyone who has done a half marathon. It's a great race if you want to eventually do a marathon -- very fast and very flat. Although the weather at that time of year can be tricky. One year it was 90 degrees and one year it was 70 -- go figure!
In regards to fundraising, I'm at 61% of goal pr $2,165. I need to raise $3,500. I think raising the money is way harder than doing the training! If you'd like to make a donation, please visit www.fredsteam.com and enter my name (Allison Jackson) and ING NYC Marathon. I'm running for Fred's Team, which benefits Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The group was founded by Fred Lebow, who founded the NYC Marathon and courageously battled cancer himself.
For those who make a donation, you can send me the name of someone you'd like to honor who has valiantly fought cancer and I will add their name to my race shirt. I'm running for all of those men, women and children who have battled cancer.
Is there a charity that you support through your fitness endeavors? I'd love to hear about it!
For moms who care about staying fit as much as they care about their little ones
