Hey Kids,

It is week Three! I beat the weather and ran 3 miles yesterday in Rutherford right after school. I also learned a powerful lesson involving sweat, cold weather and laundry. I left my running shirt and gear in my back pack after Saturday’s run up in CT where it proceeded to freeze. I then just threw it in my car forgetting about it until yesterday where it had spent the day warming up in my office. After school I opened the back pack to get into my running gear and the smell was… Well lets just say I’m glad I had another long sleeve to wear for yesterdays run. I have 4 miles today, three tomorrow and my weekend long run is only 5 miles this week:-)

Special thanks to my great friend Mark Spinney, My Brother Travis and his GF Rachel Patti, My Mom Diane and my In Laws Bob and Pat Olson for their generous donations this week. I have received a number of really encouraging donations to the AFSP so far and I am proud to say we just hit 5% of our $5000 goal today! 100% of the donations go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and honor the lives of Eddie Griffin, Fred Fiume and all who have experience with suicide. Thank you to all who have donated so far! The campaign will remain open until the Day after the race May 2nd so spread the word!
