6 Miles on Day 6!

Hello bloggers! I RAN 6 MILES TODAY!!!!! And guess what ya'll? I only walked not even half a mile. I just got on a roll and just kept going. I hit a point where my legs hurt, my lungs hurt, my feet hurt...but they all hurt in one continuous movement that somehow propelled me 6 miles. It really gave me hope for running longer distances. 

This week is going to be a hard running week, not because of miles but because of time. But the schedule is this:

Monday: Rest

Tuesday: Run 3 miles

Wednesday: Run 3 Miles

Thursday: Run 3 Miles

Friday: Rest

Saturday: Run 7 miles (one mile increase)

Sunday: Cross train

Another 3 mile week, but it will increase the further into this adventure that I get.

Ok ya'll, I need some advice. I was looking at the USMC Marathon web site last night and I found a loophole to be able to run the race this October. If I run for an organization, I get a registration number. So I was looking at different organizations, and the National Hospice Foundation stuck out to me. I have to fundraise a minimum of $1200, BUT half of my funds will go to a hospice of my choice. I would donate it to the hospice that helped take care of my grandpa in his final months. They truly are angels. So here is the question: can I raise enough money by October 30? And, will I be physically ready to run the USMC marathon? AND I would need to raise/save enough money to fly to D.C. from Utah, where I go to school? These are a few challenges that I have to face, and a few decisions I need to make. But I want to run this marathon, especially now that I have a cause to run for. Any thoughts? What do you think bloggers: would you be willing to help me raise enough money to run this race? Decisions decisions....

Well, I am going to go enjoy my advil/icy hot combination I have going on right now.

Happy Running! Peace!
