my magic mile.

Posted by eanne.owen12 Sep 17, 2009

Finally! New shoes from Road Runner! Custom fit and everything =) I found out that I over pronate on my left foot when I run, I have normal to high arches, and that my arch size is 6.5! No wonder I get painful blisters on my arches with size 8.5 shoes! It was pretty sweet actually, they set you up on a treadmill and its all computerized to figure out your foot type, pronation, etc. Highly recommend for all of those people who need new shoes for the marathon coming up. Still plenty of time to wear them in for the big race day! Plus all TNT members are VIP members! So go now and get customed!

I bought some pretty sweet nike plus shoes there..and of course I bought the nike chip that goes with it...plus the wrist band..=) but now I will always know my mileage and time. So today, with my handy wrist band and chip, I found out my magic mile which is 6:50! Before my new shoes my fastest mile was 7:25. Looking pretty..pretty..pretty good =)

Anywhoo...I counted the dollars with Amberly Sunday from our road block, and the team and I raised $735 in dollars...we haven't counted the change part yet, but I'm guessing well over $900 total!! Thank you for all that donated and for everyone who helped with the road block! Everyone was awesome!

BEER PONG TOURNY SATURDAY @ LODGE BAR!

Go TeamS!

Well, first off I want to welcome you to my very first blog! Here I will be updating on my marathon trainging, my fundraising progress, as well as my fundraising events. I'm raising money for LLS and I'm part of the PF Changs Team in Training. I'm planning on running my very first marathon October 16 here in Columbus, then run all the way to the finish line in Phoenix Arizona..all while raising money.

With my training: I'm currently at my long run of 9 miles. Today I'm shooting for 11. This week I ran 7.2 with the team on Tuesday and we had a really good run! We finished at 61:03. I need to however kick up the training this month. October will be here sooner then I am ready!

With my fundraising: Thank you everyone who has donated towards my fundraising! I have raised over $200 so far, and 3% closer towards my $3,800 goal. I'm throwing a Beer Pong Tournament fundraiser September 19th at Lodge Bar. $25/team, winning team get $50 plus a chance to win the 50/50 raffle. Let me know if you want to get a team together asap. Spots are filling up!

Keep checking my blog..and keep on keeping on!
