So first...running. Yep, ran more than my planned 12 last weekend. We started early because of the impending storm barrelling up the east coast. I missed my very last turn and ended up running an extra mile and a half or so...whoops. But it was all good. Minimal ankle pain. Now I can get synched back up with the rest of the team for most of the remaining training weeks! YAY!
I should mention that I am doing this to raise money for charity! I haven't said much about that in a while as I have been focused on the running training itself...but I am still nowhere near my $3K goal. This weekend, many of my friends are in Montreux and London, celebrating what would have been the 65th (!) birthday of the man so many of us loved. The money you donate goes to AIDS United and the Washington AIDS Partnership...and I am raising it in the name of The Mercury Phoenix Trust. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Freddie or hear him speaking or singing in my head.

I have had a rough few days and haven't been keeping to my maintenance run schedule. Hurrican Irene rolled in on Saturday...and knocked our power out until Tuesday, flooded my basement, and did a bit of damage to the roof. Clean up is going slowly...but we're getting there. This is a holiday weekend coming up, so I hope to have enough time and help to finish cleaning up...and to get in a nice 10 mile recovery run (in true Phoenix fashion).
