Aug. 1-3 - Rest Days

My reaction to my buddy Keith's 50 mile sponsorship? Well, three rest days of course! Oddly, once the plans to complete the 1,000 miles were finalized and a final date set, I had to actually reduce my mileage to avoid reaching the 1,000 mile mark prematurely. Probably a bad idea to invite the world to finish with me and then show up and announce that I hit the mark a few miles back!

So, after 3 consecutive days off, I am back on track for a Sept. 1 finish. Unfortunately, my response to the running respite has been less than disciplined; I've been eating everything is sight--tacos, steak, cookies, milkshake (fortunately just one), ribs--well, you get the idea. If this keeps up I may show up at Chalk Hill in my Nutty Professor sweat suit!

It's a beautiful morning in Monroe at my Dad's...time to get back out on the roads!

Sounds like a Friday night at the State Street Diner - and that was just the food from other people's plates!

How It Works

1) Decide to sponsor one or more miles;

2) Add a comment to the Welcome post (should remain as the top post) declaring your sponsorship (ex. I'd like to sponsor 3 miles). If you want to sponsor miles without disclosing your name within the blog, please send an email to kevelshea@gmail.com indicating the number of miles you'd like to sponsor;

3) Donate $10 for each mile sponsored by clicking this link to the Chase Kowalski Memorial Fund and then selecting "Donate". The link allows payment via credit card or PayPal; for snail mail please send a check to: Chase Kowalski Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o Peoples Bank, 470 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe, CT 06468. Please enter "Chase1000" in the memo/special instructions areas of the check or form to link your donation to this blog;

4) I will reply to your comment to let you know which miles you are sponsoring (ex. you will get miles 76-78 if you sponsor 3 miles and 75 have been previously sponsored). I will also enter a post identifying miles donated anonymously (without identifying the sponsor);

5) Except for anonymous sponsors, I will send another reply to let you know when I have completed your sponsored miles with a brief description of the run and a hearty THANK YOU!
