Slow and Steady...Very Slow

Nothing too exciting to report these days. I have been working to slowly increase my running base as I get ready to officially start my training program in mid December, when I will really ramp up the miles. Unfortunately, following an early morning run this week, when it was 2o degrees, my knee started bothering me again. It looks like I will have to spend more time on the elliptical over the next couple weeks and work on more stretching and strengthening. My self diagnosis is illiotibial band syndrome.



Good news is that I have a previously scheduled appointment on December 1st with an orthapedic/sports medicine doctor....hopefully that will help get me, and my knee, on the right track. Otherwise, I will have a lot of this in my future:

On the fundraising front, I have spent some time getting my first round of letters and emails ready to go out, thank the lord for "mail merge". The plans for the party on January 30th are coming along well and we already have quite a few great auction items (red sox tix, bruins tix, a charter fishing trip, paintings, great themed gift baskets and more) and are always looking for more.







Good luck to all the turkey trotters out there this week!
