No. 699
My next post will be my 700th entry since I started blogging in 2007, but since I already have plans for that post, I thought I’d make this one a numbered, miscellaneous post.
Tomorrow/early Saturday is my Relay for Life night. As I write this, I have raised more than $1,100 in the past couple of months; my team has topped $3,300. I’m a member of the Grand Club and am so happy to have raised so much to fight cancer. As promised, I’m running tomorrow night — after reaching several different goals, I’ll be running a half marathon. Unfortunately I can’t do that all at one time, so I’ll be breaking the mileage up throughout the night. I have even bigger plans to help fight cancer next year. For now, though, donations are still very welcomed HERE.- The only thing on my race schedule is the Baltimore Marathon. That will change soon, but that seems weird to me.
- I mentioned on Twitter a month or so that I was going to go for a run streak in June — run at least a mile every day in the month. While I want to do another streak, now’s not the time to think about running every day for a month straight. This is still base-building time for me, not run-every-single-day-and-lose-focus-on-other-things time.
- If you read my shoe post the other day (if you didn’t go read it and come back), I still have not made a decision on a shoe purchase yet. I’m taking my time, continuing to do my own research on the subject. That being said, I failed to mention that my current shoe collection is great — I have about 50 miles or so left in one pair, another pair is probably only one-third of the way through it’s life, and I have a third pair of Ravenna not yet opened.
- About a month ago, I did a Q&A with runningshoes.com — check it out HERE. Thanks to the folks there for allowing that to happen. It’s always a great experience to share my continued journey and to spread the #runchat love.
Have a great weekend of running everybody!

Good luck & have lots of fun in the relay for life! You raised a ton of money for a good cause. Good stuff by a good runner.
I did the relay for life as well a few weeks ago. I took the midnight to 4 am shift and knocked out 18.5. Lost a toenail in the process, not the recommended course of action
I still recommend trending down to minimal as far as the shoes are concerned. Obviously there is lots of debate, but I was a guy that was told he couldn’t run on anything but “super stabilized” shoes, and here I am running in track flats and vibrams with a mid/forefoot strike that I love.
Great job on the Relay for Life, and happy 699! *throws 699 pieces of confetti*
Steve´s last blog ..A tough few days
Nice going on the fundraising…thinking of doing something like that myself but not sure where/when/who and other w’s. You’re focused on something bigger…like it! Can’t wait to see how it plays out.
