Time for a marathon update

It's that time again...update on the training in progress...
As you may or may not know, Im in training for the half marathon for St. Jude in December. (December 6th to be exact) I'm part of a team and everyone has a goal of $4,000 each to rasie for the charity.
So far, I think I'm pulling in around 425.00, but thats ok...I still have some time. If you would like to donate...you can visit: www.stjudeheroes.org/users/bucco
Just click on SPONSOR PARTICIPANT

Anywhooooooo
So far I'm up to about an hour and 15 minutes of running so far in my training.
It's not as hard as I thought it would be actually. I guess we always expect the best and prepare for the worst....so I did.
Last week was my first time running an hour and I made it through in one piece so I was pretty proud. Granted....my legs ached for about 2 days after that and I couldnt really sleep for a full 24 hours, but other than that..... :)
Today is what we call a "rest day". I love those. Those are the best days. I love to wake up....look at my sidekick...see my training email for today and have it say..." today is a rest day"
I think I hear angels sing! :)
Tomorrow I have another 1:15 run. Phillip usually rides next to me on his bike while I run, which is very encouraging...and I'm thinking fun for him since last week he got to hear me rap "baby got back" while running hills.....He laughed ALOT! I'm not sure if he was laughing because it was cute or if it was because I'm just a terrible singer. WELL HELL..I was running up a hill....im thinking even Janet Jackson might struggle a bit with that one....
So, things are going well...Ill keep you posted on my progress and don't forget to come out and cheer everyone on during the big race.
(December 6th at Autozone Park) It's very exciting...my team ( TEAM M.O.G) is probably the most fun team EVER!!!! They're all raising WAY more money than I am right now, but that's ok...I'll get there!
Keep ya posted....
DON'T FORGET..if you want to sponsor me and.or make a donation....
