wow, i'm horrible at keeping up this blog. last weekend, i did a two hour training walk. it was hard, but not too hard. mostly, it was hot. it was about 7 miles round trip, which means, once i build up my stamina, it's going to take a little under 4 hours to walk the 1/2 marathon, which means that if i continute to up my speed, i might still be able to do the full marathon in under 8 hours. (holy shit that's a long time). we shall see. i have another training this weekend and we are walking for 2 and a half hours. i've also been doing the stair master for 30 minutes a day, trying to strengthen up my legs. i think it's working.

and thank you so much to all of you who have donated so far! we are up to $2425, $75 bucks away from out goal! i can't believe it!!! now all i have to do is keep training and not get injured and we're good to go.
