Hello Friends and Family!
Well this update is overdue but the big news is that the first leg of
the Triple Play is successfully completed!
I “ran” the Raleigh Rock and Roll half marathon in 2 hours and 25
minutes. I was able to run through the
halfway point, but somewhere around mile 8 or 9 I found myself walking up some
of the hills in downtown Raleigh. I
didn’t make a conscious decision to walk, my body just stopped running and
started walking! All in all, I think I
ran about 10 or 11 out of the 13.1. Not
bad, all things considered.
The inspiration dinner the night before the race was
wonderful, and I was fortunate enough to be honored as the top fund raiser for
the Team in Training! All thanks to all
of you!!!
Well now my attention turns to cycling. It took me a few days to work out the
stiffness and soreness from the run, but by Wednesday I was back on my
stairmaster, 40 minutes a day. Today
will be my first cycling workout since the Half. I will be riding today with Rob Allan, a
fellow Tour de Cure participant and my team captain. The Tour is going to be upon me very soon – 3
weeks fro Saturday, so I need to train intensively. I will keep you posted. Thanks for all your encouragement and
support! GO TEAM!! Dan
