I had a long run day Saturday…we had spent the night in
Morgantown as Brock had a meeting Saturday morning…so while Brock was at his
meeting I was celebrating my birthday by running J…we
were lucky as our hotel was about 5 steps from a trail. It was a GREAT fall day and running next to
the Monongahela River was about as nice as can be. They had recommended treating Saturday as if
you would race day (running attire, food etc).
If Saturday’s weather is what we get for race day, there won’t be one
complaint from me! It definitely was a
GREAT fall day, however I fear November 4th will be a bit colder J

Yesterday’s run..I extended it a little bit to play with the
training log, as this week is a bit crazy schedule wise for me with work and a
Team Spangler Fundraiser. I was grumpy
at my shoes a bit….breaking in new shoes is always aggravating! I think I stopped 3 times to adjust my socks
and shift the shoes around somewhat. Sometimes
I want to throw shoes around and stomp on them prior to runs to break them
in. Either I’m crazy or that’s normal…either
or someone will understand I’m sure J

Today Marks 19 days away…..YIKES…. I’ve got 2 more Sunday Runs…and the 3rd
Sunday will be race day. Race Day along
with 42,000 other people. I’m so glad I
came home one day and said “You know…I think I’m gonna run the NYC Marathon for
Team Fox”… who doesn’t say that to themselves?
I underestimated the training it would take along with the everyday life
schedules….and I under estimated how far out of shape I started from where I
remembered being back in my avid running days.
I also laugh a little bit at my 2-3 hour run days reflecting on when I
use to think 45 minutes or even an hour was an entire day of running toughness. I have said it before, and I will continue to say it...this however has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The people I have met along the way...as many refer to as "Team Fox Family"...have been amazing and it seems every day that I have needed a little push myself, someone has shared their story...and it inspired me there is still so much more to be done.
We are still pushing our last little bit to give
a little more…. This Thursday is the Chili Dinner Fundraiser to be held
at Wyngate Senior Living. We would LOVE
to see you there!
