June 11. Its been some kinda week

WOW!  Talk about a chaotic week.  My pre training was cut a bit short last week due to a business trip to Las Vegas!  That trip has def. inspired me to try to get the spouse to run the full marathon out there next December, but thats a thought for a different day.  Over the last week or so I've put in some decent miles and broken a few barriers such as a sub 9 mi average over 4 miles.  That was awesome!
As far as everything else goes, its a bit of a rut time right now.  I'm tired.  I'm sore.  I'm burnt out a little.  That said, i'm still 100% focused on the goal and thats to get in shape to run 26.2 miles in under 5 hours and 15 minutes.  Nothing eventful has been happening on my runs...staying around elkin/jonesville, bla bla bla.  I can literally feel myself getting stronger though, so thats a plus.  One thing is for certain, its going to be very important to stay hydrated in the coming months.
Fundraising has GOT to pick up.  I'm getting the big denial on my febale attempts lately.  I'm only at 455 bucks.  That SUCKS for me.  A Foothills fundraiser is coming up though, maybe we'll score some bucks.
Here was my last "long" run this past saturday.  I didnt eat breakfast.  Otherwise this time would have been MUCH better.
