Yesterday the Boston Team completed the June Running Challenge in honor of the United States service members and Boston Marathon victims. We ran every day during the month in an effort show our gratitude and appreciation for the military’s tremendous sacrifice, and to pay tribute to those who were affected in the Boston Marathon tragedy.
Over the course of the month, I ran 155 miles in 18.5 hours, averaging just over 5 miles per day and 7:15 minutes per mile. My workouts ranged from 1 to 12 miles during the month, requiring some early mornings and very late nights, including last night’s run of 5 miles at 11:30 PM (see picture of the Boston Back Bay). I ran in four different states and in some pretty terrible weather, but thoroughly enjoyed each day of the challenge. In two weeks, Taylor Gorman and I are running a half marathon in Maine in preparation for our qualifying marathon in September. Thanks for the calls, texts, and everyone’s continued support as we push for Boston 2014! Please stay tuned for our Boston Fundraising event coming up this fall!
