The art auction went quite well, though I didn't reach my goal. I had wanted to raise about $500 and we raised about $300. Still, not bad all in all.
Next fundraiser is another opportunity drawing, coming up in 1 week. I need to start promoting it more and selling entries to the people at work/friends. I was waiting until the auction was over because it was a bit much promoting both at the same time.
Training is going better. I ran 11.2 miles today and am at a 24.25 miles for the week. I plan on doing another 2 miles or so tomorrow, putting it at about 27 miles for the week. Then I need to figure out how to increase my mileage next week.
The 11.2 mile run today went better than I thought it would. I was able to run a bit over 5 miles without stopping, and that included over 2 miles of hill, hill, hill. That killed me but I did it. I would still like to figure out how to start running faster, and longer, but all in all I think I'm doing fairly well. My husband also did the 11.2 mile run today and he did fantastic, even though he hasn't really been training. He finished it about 15 minutes before I did (totally not fair since I've been working so hard on training and he hasn't!!! But it is what it is). I was quite surprised.
I will keep everyone updated. I'm still looking for more fund raising ideas, so if anyone has any, feel free to pass them along. Thanks guys!

Nice job on the art auction Marcy. It sounds like your training is going well too. You've
ReplyDeleteinspired me into action as I have chosen to partake in a cancer walk. It's my first but I like to walk and what a great reason to get out there. If you want to run faster try only going down hill...just kidding. Keep up the good work. -Sid
Awesome Sid! I wast thinking of doing the walk to, but I think I'll undertake that next year. How exciting! I'm sure you'll do great and have a lot of fun. Let me know if you need help with fund raising :)
