Step up my game

Monday was a slow day for me. It took about 24 hours after yesterday's long run for me to fully recover. I went to the gym in the evening and worked on upper body with weights. I felt some pain in the knee area and was worried. I was feeling frustrated once I got on the scale and I gained two pounds. Alright, I need to step up my game. I need to increase my mileage per week. Everything that I have read from the pros say mileage increase helps you to finish 26 miles. I should be running 20-30 miles per week. I am going to include stretches that prevent injuries to the knees, calves and ankles. This week I am going to pass out flyers to businesses to gain support toward fund raising.

Journey to the Marathon

Journey to the Marathon
In the beginning..

In March I decided to join my Pastor and others to run the Chicago Marathon.

That's how it got started. I said yes, yes to the Marathon and raise money for World Vision. World Vision assists children and their families. I joined Team World Vision to do my part in helping these children and their families who are dying in Africa due to malnourishment, unclean water, illness and other devasting causes. I started training in March of 2008. That's me at the gym trying to get in shape.
