I got my training started this week after a couple very light weeks, thanks to some knee trouble. I have self-diagnosed it as a sore IT Band...thanks to the power of the internet. I have an appointment scheduled with an orthapedic/sports medicine doctor on December 1st which will hopefully provide a good stretching/strengthening program to keep me healthy through all the training miles but after a couple weeks rest I am feeling good and ready to get things going. I am going to try doing about half of my runs on a treadmill or ArcTrainer to limit the miles I have to do on the pavement, hopefully keeping me healthy for the long haul. I ran a total of 10 miles this week with an 11 mile bike ride (albeit a stationary bike) thrown in....the knee feels great and I am feeling confident.
On the fundraising side. I need to get going on a letter/email campaign but happy to announce that there is a fundraising event (i.e. PARTY!!) scheduled for January 30th. It will be at the VFW in Abington and we already have a band booked. Many thanks to my sister Karen for all her efforts to pull this event together. Keep the date open and tell your friends, all are welcome. Last but not least, still looking for any donations to include in the silent auction for the party.
Stay tuned for more details on the event and training updates.

Hey Tom,
ReplyDeleteMy husband Sean and I had a nice time talking to you at Beer Works after the meeting. We live near Abington so we will do our best to be there. We are just starting to plan our party too (which is usually early April). It can be a lot of work but definitely worth it!
