Marathon Update


Stephen and I made it through our first official week of marathon training! We ran 3-4 miles last week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. We finished out the week with six miles on Saturday and two miles on Sunday. We are both proud that we managed to make the full six miles on Saturday with less than half a mile walking.

We have two big challenges right now: finding the time to run and the weather. We are both very busy at work, so at least one of us has been getting up at 5 a.m. to run. We know that work will stay busy until the legislative session ends in May. In addition, it's very cold so we are confined to our treadmill. Hopefully it will begin to warm up soon so we can get outside.

We have set up another Web page to help us raise money for the Leukemi and Lymphoma Society. It is at: http://www.active.com/donate/tntks/martinos

Cate seems to be getting cuter every day. This week, we've been working with her on the names of her classmates at day care. She knows Jack, Chase and Josh very well. She surprised one of her teachers at school this week by asking for a hug when it was time to leave. Cate puts her arms out and says "hug" -- how can you resist?
