Jan. 26 - 10.5 Miles Ran, 10 Miles Sponsored

I put in 10.5 through the back streets of Colchester this afternoon, which helped me catch up a tiny bit on the sponsors.  Kathy Lennon Mason sponsored 10 miles today, thanks Kath!  Kathy and I go way back to Fawn Hollow Elementary School, first grade I think, and know enough embarrassing stuff about each other to keep everything in the vault.  I hope. :)

Kathy has miles 109-118 which I should complete next weekend.  The miles I put in today covered 83-91, sponsored by my cousin Jerome Bresnahan, and 92, sponsored by Jacquie DeChristopher Hamel.  This was the longest I've run since last May, and I felt pretty good.  It was about 25 degrees and a little windy.  Unfortunately the wind was coming right at me for the first mile before I warmed up, but after that I had a really nice run.  I upped the mileage because I'm hoping to be fit enough to do the Colchester Half Marathon in late February.

I hope to do a 5 mile race tomorrow morning in Milford.and meet a woman named Lindsay Knauf who this year is running 26 races, one for each child and teacher lost in the Sandy Hook tragedy.

Thanks Jerome and Jacquie for your generosity!
