The surprise was revealed today... we were directed to a different area of Valley Forge for time trials! We jogged to the starting point, then proceeded to race on a flat, paved trail for the next five miles. I came in second place at 35:40!
Coach Bill stressed this was not a competition, just a way for him to measure our pace time for the big event (half or full marathon). If I manage to keep a pace of 8:00 to 8:30 per mile, I will certainly finish the marathon in less than four hours!
A big spike in fundraising dollars this week... I have reached $1822!
Next Sunday, we return to Kelly Drive for ten miles - the eight-mile loop plus an additional two miles.
