Week 26 Only 6 Days to Go

I am almost to my fundraising goal of $1000 for the Houston Food Bank. I would be extremely happy if I exceed it. You can still donate on line by clicking on this link:

This morning's workout was a leisurely 45 minute walk. It was in the 60's and once I got going, I felt really warm. When I saw that the weather forecast showed Sunday's weather slated to be the same as today's, I decided that I was going to wear shorts for the Marathon. I ran up to Finish Line Sports and bought a new pair of racing shorts and will break them in this week.

Kathy and I have decided that we are going to start the Marathon at 4:00am. The Marathon organization is really great about letting the walkers leave early since there is no way most of us could finish in the official 6 hour course time. Originally we were planning on leaving at 5:00am, but decided it would be best to have an extra hour of cushion. We are estimating that it will take us about 7 hours. A 5:00am departure would put us in around Noon, so barring any unforeseen issues, we should now make in it by 11:00am, just about the time the Boston qualifiers will be finishing.
