I am officially ready for Spring! I am into week 6 of my Bayshore Marathon training and I haven't been able to take my Yak Traks off yet. I love to run out side but the cold dark mornings are getting old. The mileage is slowly creeping up so I am running about 25 miles per week and riding my mountain bike at lease twice per week.
I had one small set back last Sunday when I stepped on something under the snow and hurt my foot. In a effort to rest I have been riding the bike most of this week and spending a lot of time icing my foot and stretching. It seems to be working so I am hoping to be back on the road by Tuesday or Wednesday.
I have not had much time to do any real hard workouts due to the snow but I was able to race my mountain bike (which is a very hard workout) twice. One race was in 4" of snow and the other was in 3" of mud (see the pic's below). I am thrilled that my health is still good and that I am able to do the activities I love! I am inspired day by day when I think about all of the people who are struggling with blood cancers and are struggling through treatments.
Fund raising for the LLS is going great and I am just over half way to my goal. I am humbled by the generosity of all those who have donated. Words cannot describe my gratitude and I am so thankful for your donations, thoughts and prayers. Never hesitate to call if you want to join me on a run or ride.
God Bless,
Tim
