Ten Thousand

| 1 Comment

What a great day! Earlier this afternoon -- only two days after I'd sent out an update on my training and fundraising progress -- several additional donations came through to kick my total over $10,000. Feels great to hit that early milestone. I'm really looking forward to additional fundraising efforts over the next four months.

Training today was another track workout at Minnehaha Academy. Had a good conversation with Stephanie again -- we were paired up for the relay/pace activity, which really meant that we didn't end up running together at all. Go figure. For the laps around the track I ran with Crystal and Tanya. We decided that our paces are pretty similar, so I'll at least have somebody to run with at both marathons.

Today's mileage: about 5 miles, in 50 some minutes.
Total mileage: 141 miles.

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.
