Team World Vision Fundraising

 

As I look forward to the Twin Cities Marathon in October, I am once again raising money for Team World Vision. Team World Vision brings clean water to communities in need. Every day more than 800 children die from contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. 

While World Vision is a Christian organization, it serves communities and individuals whether they are Christian or not.

You can make a difference. A donation of $50 will bring clean water to one person. Any amount you're comfortable donating will help, whether it's five dollars or $100.

For any donation $20 or more, I will dedicate a mile of the Twin Cities Marathon to you.

For a donation of $50 or more, I will write you a semi-customized training plan for a race distance of your choice.

If donating isn't feasible for you right now, I ask that you keep me and communities in need in your prayers.

Thank you for all your support. You can find more information on my Team World Vision fundraising page Team World Vision fundraising page.

Goals Update

 It's been six months since I set some goals for the 42nd year of my life. Here are how they're going:

1. Run a marathon.

I'm signed up for the Twin Cities Marathon this coming October

2. Do strength and mobility work at least 45 minutes a week.

I'm on track for this one.

3. Break 19:15 in the 5K

This is going to be a tough one. I'm planning on starting to take a crack at this goal in August and September.

4. Run 1,000 miles for the year.

This one's going great. I've already logged 545,

5. Hit race weight by May and maintain for the year.

I missed the goal of getting to race weight by May. I'm hoping to be down to race weight by the end of August.

6. Write 12 blog posts.

Well... not doing so hot on this one.

Though all my goals are not going great, I'm feeling pretty good about the progress I've made. I'm optimistic about the second half of the year.
