All this running around I forgot to share about my latest two Video Blogs

So summer camp is less then 3 weeks away. I have two months until The Steelhead 70.3 Half Ironman and I'm not even close to my fundraising goal of $2,600 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I did manage to make two new You Tube Videos.

The first one is my annoucement to the world that I'm fundrasing as a member of Team In Training for Steelhead.

The second one I made a A video Blog about what I ate when I ran the Rock N' Roll Mardi Gras for my friend's food blog at http://www.imadedinner.net. The link to the story is at http://bit.ly/daplqI.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) has invested more than $680 million in research, approximately $69 million in fiscal year 2009 alone. Programs like the Specialized Center of Research (SCOR), which brings together teams of scientists from different disciplines and our Translational Research Program, which funds

research with a high probability of producing innovative patient treatments in an accelerated time frame, have directly contributed to many breakthrough cancer treatments.

Research funded by LLS has led or contributed to advances such as chemotherapy, bone marrow and stem cell transplantation and new, targeted oral therapies such as Gleevec®

My 2010 Half Illinois Marathon Experience @ILMarathon

So I ran the Half Illinois Marathon last Sunday in 1:54:23. I was hoping to get close to my personal record of 1:45:29. It was humid and not the most ideal race conditions. I stuck to my plan of 1 mile to 30 second intervals. Like most of my races, I went out too fast. The the first half of the race I was hitting 8 minutes per mile. I ended up with a 8:44 minute per mile average. I finished strong, was under 2 hours, and had fun. I even ran out to the marathon course and ran in my friends to the finish line. To top every thing else, I was quoted in the Daily Illini Newspaper.
