Week Three Summary

| 1 Comment

Just a quick update for today -- it's a busy dance recital weekend for the family. Back-to-back days at Hopkins High School with afternoon and evening recitals to either help with props, dance, hang out in the parking lot, and even watch at least one full event.

Long run this weekend was a solid 8 miles on Saturday morning. A little wet, a little muggy, but overall a great pace and no major aches or pains.

Fundraising is off to a great start! Thanks again to everybody who has contributed so far -- including Emily, Jody & Lane, Ian, Ken, and Pepito, recently -- to help generate a first-week total of $3,100! Very exciting. Almost halfway to the minimum threshold for Twin Cities and Dublin, and still the entire summer and fall ahead of me to strive for my personal goal.

Saturday's mileage: 8 miles in 1 hour and 30 minutes (including two water stops).
Week 3 mileage: 15 miles in 3 training days, plus 2 cross-training spin classes.
Total mileage: 51 miles.

I am so excited for you for breaking the $3K mark and all in just a few short weeks. Very promising. I hope you hit all of your goals.

Good luck!

A Few Notes

rkb in 1990
2010 marks my twentieth year in remission from AML. To celebrate, I will be training for and running two marathons with Team in Training: Twin Cities on October 3rd, and Dublin, Ireland on October 25th.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (or through the site archives).

But now I will also be writing about my training and fundraising goals, progress, as well as other thoughts, feelings, and experiences along the way for this milestone anniversary.
