About Me

Hello! This is my running blog. I have started this blog because I am trying to raise $10,000 for a non-profit organization called Of One Heart. You can read my first post to hear more about this organization. This blog will just tell the story of my training and also of my fundraising. Thanks for reading!

Monday, Monday....

Oh Monday....the hardest day of all to work out.  I always have to set my alarm 10 minutes earlier on Mondays because it takes me that much longer to get up and go.  But I did...today I ran on the treadmill, I had enough of the cold weather on Saturday.  I decided to do a ladder drill on the treadmill, this makes the time go so much faster!  What you do is run one lap at a slow pace, then one lap at a fast pace.  Then one lap at a slow pace and 2 laps at a fast pace, then one slow, 4 fast, one slow, 2 fast, one slow, one fast, one slow and your done!  It equals 4 miles.  It breaks up the time and instead of thinking...I have to run 4 miles, you can think I have to run one lap...then I get to slow down, etc. 

Yesterday was my rest day, it was very nice.  I went to my parents house and picked up some pop cans, and then my sister said she had a few so I went over there.  A few was an understatement!  We ended up with $15.80!  So I will add that to the other pop can money:) 

I am working on some other fundraising ideas, and when I get them set I will let you all know!  Thanks for reading!
