For a worthy cause...

Hi all,

This is your chance to put your money where your mouth is...

Here it is in a nut shell. I am running the AIDS marathon in New Orleans in February (on the 27th). This Summer was the first time I had run since Jr. High School cross country. (that was over 22 years ago!) Since ~6 months ago, I have logged over 320 miles during my quest.

My longest training run so far was 26 miles. I did this two days ago (on Saturday).

My original fund raising goal was $2,700... Many of my friends thought I was nutz trying to raise that kind of money... So far, I have raised $3,500 (this before my deadline!)

I need your support. So, who's with me??

bump.

Prolly bump this once per week until marathon day. In the mean time, I will post updates on how I am doing.

I am doing well. Legs and joints are strong! WOOHOO.

My wife is due today, and it is our first. I am a bit nervous. But, I know it will workout fine.

My baby will only be about 3 weeks old when I fly down to New Orleans to run my marathon! I am lucky to have such a good sport for a wife!
