6.4 miles, 54.9% towards goal, a quick note about apparel, and team run tomorrow - 6 miles!

Did 6.4 miles today at about a 10:27 pace. It was awesome! I always get a bit tired at about mile 3, but then catch a second wind. My new best friend is the visor I picked up at Run N Fun, especially when it rains (like tonight.) A quick tip I've picked up regarding clothing: always dress for about 20* warmer than what it is outside, because you will warm up as you run. (Of course, you'll always want to factor extreme weather like high winds, snow, heat, etc. into your decision.) I always knew that of course you warm up some... but 20*? But it hasn't failed me yet!

In other fantastic news... we are at 54.9% (which I would call 55%) towards my goal of raising $1700 for LLS by July 2! Thank you so much to all of the folks who have donated in the last day or so:

Gena, St. Paul
April, China
Linda, St. Paul
Amy, St. Paul

We have three weeks, two days, and only $765.20 to go. VERY exciting!

My favorite midweek break is tomorrow - our TNT team run! These have become my favorite activities of the week, and tomorrow we'll be doing 6 miles. Who knew I would ever be looking forward to running 6 miles? And Sunday we will break my own personal record - we'll be running 7 miles. Heck yeah. Onward!
