Team Fundraiser and Monday's 7

Saturday night my husband and I went to a TNT fundraiser.  Thomas and Katie are training for San Fran and are raising money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  The fundraiser was a contest called the Brown Bag Event 2.0.  They had it at a beautiful river house.  It was great seeing old running friends and meeting new people.  We played games and they also had jambalaya.  It was so much fun and I believe they raised about $1500!





I owe so much to these two ladies!  Alicia (right) is the one who got me involved with TNT and VV who was one of my coaches for Marine Corp last October.  They are wonderful and amazing women who are so encouraging!!


Sunday I went to the gym and ran 5 miles and did some of the machines.  I'm beginning to really hate going to the gym.  Running outside is so much better!

Today I had a lovely 7 mile run.  It was raining (of course) for the first 3 miles and then the sun started peeking out.  It was nice to see the sun because it's been hiding all weekend!
My overall pace was 8:51 min/mile.  Total time was 1:01:57
1: 8:55
2:  8:44
3: 8:34
4:  8:50
5:  8:54
6:  9:17
7:  8:41

Tomorrow is a rest day.  Enjoy your week my friends. 
Train hard and rest well!

    I hate running on the treadmills too, but I hate running in 110 degree heat more. Sunday I can go for an outdoor 5 miler!!
