1,000 Miles for Chase: Aug 5

Aug 5 - 4.5 Miles Ran

Connecticut residents can thank Keith Webster for breaking the heat wave we have been suffering through all summer. Ever since Keith's mega-sponsorship of 50 miles and fiendish plot to vicariously enjoy my pain in running his miles in the August heat, the humidity has disappeared and temps have been in the low to mid 70's. We'll have to hit him up for a few more miles if it heats up again after I'm done with his 50.

I was back running the trusty ol' Day Pond loop yesterday evening. I completed 3 laps for a total of 4.5 miles. It was another run where I started off feeling very sluggish, but picked it up big time during the middle part of the run. After a warm up mile near 9 min/mi, I ticked off 7:10 and 6:50 miles around the dirt road circling the pond. I think this blast of energy relates to my recent 3-day running hiatus.

I completed miles 884-888, sponsored by our favorite weatherman (Keith). Thanks Web!

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!
