6 mile team run, 43% towards goal, and an interesting accomplishment

How did it get to be Monday again already? These weeks are just flying by.

On to more exciting news: we're now at 43% of my fundraising goal of $1700 by July 2! Thank you all so much again. New donors include:

Cristy, St. Paul
Lisa, St. Paul

Well, other than that, I don't have a lot to report. Saturday, we did a long run - six miles - in the cold rain! I experimented with a new 10 minute run/1 minute walk interval, and that seemed to work well, though the pace has to be a bit higher to avoid the dreaded "pace bus" on race day. I know it will get there, though. We are due to do another six miles on Wednesdays and seven miles on Sunday. I'm really excited - I do love the team runs, and the miles just seem to fly by. We'll see if this trend seems to hold.

Finally, an interesting note... I seem to have hit the character limit of the webpage supplied by Team In Training, which was obviously not designed to be a blog (those of you who know me will be unsurprised that I have used a pretty straightforward tool for something else entirely and have again, bumped up against its limits for intended use.) In any case, I have started a companion blog at http://erinstojanruccoloteamintraining.blogspot.com/. As with most change, this is a mixed blessing - having a blog means that I can use more images and widgets, so you'll also see more pictures and my DailyMile.com widget with my daily training. I will continue to update the Team In Training page, but will keep only my latest posts there - older posts will be archived at the blog.

Thank you so much again! Onward!
