If you didn’t already know, I completed Grandma’s Marathon with a time of 3:47:46, crushing my last year time of 4:55:10! And yes I did beat my goal of 4 hours! My average pace was 8:41/mile. I am soar, but doing very well for recovery. I am planning on running the Midnight Sun Run 5K on Friday, and I think I will be healthy enough to do my personal best at that race!
Fundraising is continuing through the end of June. Those of you who said you were going to donate please do it soon! If you are sending me a check please email me, so I know how much to add to the tally. Also, those of you who are sending a check, this is a reminder to get that in the mail. Lastly, the few people who said they were going to match there contribution if I reached my goal of under 4 hours please donate again, or send that as well with your initial check. Right now we are at $623 of our goal of $1500, so it would be great to get the totals at least closer to our original goal.
Here are the links to donate and my address to send a check (Write check to: Community Action Duluth, Memo: Marathoner.ToEndPoverty):
