Post-Challenge Week #1 Update – The Mid-Winter Classic 10 Miler

February 7th, 2010 • Related • Filed Under

It’s been a week since my last update. In that time I haven’t run a lot of miles (less than 37) but I did have a good 10 mile race this morning, 7 days following the challenge.

I took part in the Cape Elizabeth Mid-Winter Classic 10 Miler, where I thought that I’d run between 59 and 60 minutes although I’d ideally like to have been around 57-58 minutes. I didn’t have a lot of leg turnover, but I ran relatively consistently the entire way and didn’t feel any worse at mile 9 than I did at mile 2.

There were a lot of donations this week! The current total is up to $1126, $326 of which came in during the past week. This leaves me $374 short of being able to send a family to Camp Sunshine for a week, so hopefully the donations will keep coming in to reach that $1500 mark.

Thanks this week goes to:

  • Snake Head Games
  • Robert Aube
  • Chanda Guyot
  • Linda Douglass
  • Laura Tyrrell
  • Olga Frenkel

There was also quite a bit of news coverage (thanks to everybody who forwarded me links and newspaper clippings!) I’ve got a draft together with links to all the stories that I will get on the site this week some time. Getting Camp Sunshine’s name into the news is worth even more than the donations because it gets the word out there so that people know about the camp.

Here are this week’s numbers:

Miles Run: 36.9 Miles This Week (386.3 Miles This Year)
Duration: 4:58:41 This Week (2 Days 11 Hours 54 Minutes 56 Seconds This Year)
Net Weight Change: -2½ Pound (+½ Pounds Total)
Money Raised: $326 Raised This Week ($1126 Total)
