Run The Island

I am training for a half marathon. Its the 3rd year my roommate and I have decided to run the 13.1 World Vision Half in Queens.  This year, our church has also decided to run.  We have probably 100 people from all 5 parishes running.  We are actually competing with each other for who can raise the most money.  If you are interested, visit our TEAM PAGE.  I still have over $500 to raise.

Have you ever had something happen to you and you can't explain how it happened or how you walked away in one piece. I had one of those this weekend during a run. I had an hour to fit in a run before my sister-in-law picked me up for a trip to my brother's this weekend. I am training for a half marathon at the end of the month and I have to be good at making my runs. I had intended to run my long run (9 miles) on Friday but due to some bad calf pain the Wednesday before I decided to make Friday a short run and the long run on Sunday.  Sunday runs are not ideal due to church in the afternoon/evenings but due to schedules lately I haven't had a choice.
