I felt like Al Bundy |
With more time on my hand this week I was able to finalize some things for this weekend coming up. If you don't know yet what I am doing let me explain. On November 1st at 5:00 pm Chris Smith @chrismith6944 and myself will be doing a fundraiser for Children's Hospital. It will take place on the track at Woodland Hills High School in Churchill. We will take turns running for 24 hours straight I think that is day light savings so it may turn into 25 hours. One of us will be on the track at all times and be running or walking. Originally when we came up with the idea we assumed it would be just me and him, but people started to ask if they could come up and take some of the running off of us if they donated. I am just coming off a marathon and Chris fractured his foot a month ago. We are both going to be put to the test but with so many people saying they will come and help out I can see our running time is probably going to be cut in half. I figured most people wont show up during the night so that is when we will both have to take turns. This is also the reason why I started it later in the day. We want fresh legs when it is dark out. Even if people don't want to run they can still come and donate or they can use the link and donate directly to the page set up through the hospital. http://www.givetochildrens.org/24HourRun
I am very excited for this event, it is going to really push me to the limit having just done a marathon. Most of all though I am glad that I can use running and give back to people who need it. I hope everyone can stop up at some point in the 2 days and show their support.
This week I will do some light running at the beginning of the week, but nothing crazy. I will probably go to the gym and work out most days to keep my legs fresh. I can't wait until next week to share how the event turned out with all of you. Until then be safe on the roads.
Congratson being invited to part of the Battle Frog series! You are right to rest up for such a huge weekend. Sorry to hear that Chris fractured his foot. Sounds like it will really be a big challenge for you both.
ReplyDeleteYes it will be a big challenge, but I believe we are both up to it.
DeleteI'm bringing a cooler of beer and getting drunk while u run. I will fire my empties at chris.
DeleteKevin just make sure you hand me off some beers as I go around.
