Folks- This is my blog to track the progress of my marathon training. As some of you already know I'm assembling a team to run the Trail Dawgs (http://www.udel.edu/johnmack/traildawgs/tc/) marathon in Delaware on April 26th. I'm running to raise money for Huntington's Disease, as this is a very serious illness that is well in need of both funding and awareness. I'm hoping to raise $1000 per team member and have my company match our donation. Along with race I'll be a weekly volunteer at the local Huntington's Disease Society of America (http://www.hdsauny.com/). I'm working with them to hopefully build an outreach program aimed at children who have HD, or whose parents do.
I'd say this was a very successful first training week. Along with doing some speed runs, hills, and cross-training I managed to quit drinking (I caved a bit, but I think from today forward I'm clean until the race). I've been in contact with the president of the HDSA, and hopefully will meet up with him this week. I'm going to go work on some applications and will keep you posted if I find any good articles. In the mean time check this article out (it's great news!): http://masshightech.bizjournals.com/masshightech/stories/2007/11/12/story10.html
More later.
