week of Jan 19

Training is going well, I haven't missed a day yet! We did 7km yesterday, I get today off then back at it tomorrow. We celebrated mom's 70th birthday on Saturday, the whole family got together, minus Ryan and Trevor and family. It was very nice, mom was pleased with the dinner!
Between Ernie, Megan and Margo I have always had a partner and it does make it easier. But I realize I will have to do the run myself! Right now with training we are doing 4km X 2, 3km X 2 and 7km each week two days get a bit longer so that we build up stamina. According to the training schedule I start doing 16km on Mar 15 and every Sunday is a longer run, Mar 22 is 16km, Mar 29 is 12km, Apr 5 is 18, Apri 12 is 18km the on Apr 19 (my dad's birthday) is a 20km then the Sunday before the run is only a 6km. We also do 4 other scheduled days per week but they are smaller runs. Our trainer just got back from another Arthritis Run and said everyone finished but you could tell who did do the training....I don't want to be one of those people that look like they didn't do the training. I want to be able to give it my best shot and run as much as possible.
I have given the dates of the longer runs so that Lori E and Lori Mc Q can come down to do one of the longer runs with me, I am even looking into the walking paths for distance so we don't have to do so much running on the road Lori E. Come early since April 25 is the Cinco de Mayo party here! And the send off for Ernie and I! and I really want you to be here for that! It would be nice to have Sue here also, but I know I will see her soon enough. See ya for now! Gotta run lol!

Sweetness there is no way you will feel that you let them down.
The adrenaline rush that you get when it all starts will carry you through.
Believe you me they will be loads there that would not have put in so much time and effort that you have.
I am so proud of you, who would have believed when we were sitting on the beach in Cuba 4 years ago that you would be doing something like this!!
