Another week of training comes to an end and my knee is still not cooperating the way I want it to! I am once again left disappointed in the mileage I was able to log this week, but still optimistic that I will complete the half in September regardless. And with another disappointing week I figured what the heck, I might as well sign up for my first full marathon!! And that's exactly what I did!
I am extremely excited to announce that I have joined with Operation Jack (operationjack.com) and have signed up to run my first full marathon August 21, 2010 in Park City, Utah. Operation Jack will be an attempt by Sam Felsenfeld to race at least one marathon a week in 2010 (60 total for the year) to generate attention that will raise funds and nationwide awareness for Train 4 Autism, an organization that works tirelessly to raise money for Autism charities.
After reading the story of Sam and his son Jack I looked at his schedule of races and noted that he was running two in Utah, one in Provo and one in Park City....I thought about whether I should commit to register and join a team with Operation Jack, for all of about one minute, and decided on Park City. And now I am an extremely proud member of the Operation Jack team for the Park City Marathon !
So as I continue to push and train for my first half marathon, I excitedly look forward to my first full marathon, almost exactly one year from now!
Engage others. Inspire all. Believe in you.
