Mercedes Marathon


It is time for the second of three Marathons. It has been hard to train for the Mercedes with the cold and wet weather. I didn't think I was ever going to defrost from the St. Judes Marathon but the frost bite is gone and it is time to run another 26.2.
The longest run I have done over the past two months was 13.1 miles on a treadmill which was torture. I did get a chance to run in the Pensacola, FL Double Bridge 15k with some friends as part of my training. Thanks to Eric, Truck, Misty, and Christy for a great time and fun run. It was a terrific event and much warmer than the St. Judes and probably the Mercedes coming up this weekend.
Thanks again to everyone who has supported me since the start of this adventure. A very big thank you to my friends and family. Chris Mayfield has done an excellent job through this whole process of keeping me going. Please continue to spread awareness and encourage everyone you know to make a donation as we are about half way to our goal.
