In the last 3 weeks of training before the race! The weather has cooled a little and it is making the running easier and more enjoyable. I have been increasing my miles each week and feel very strong and injury free. I am looking forward to making it to the start line and enjoying all that I have worked for. My goal is again to enjoy the day and the pain and hopeful improve or maintain my 2024 results! I am getting closer to my fundraising goal and hope to get that last little bit needed to make this all worth it.

Training has been moving along well despite the heat we have been having in Canada. Bringing lots of water to the track and also being kind to myself about speed and distance. The warm weather slows everything down and just need to keep the effort in the right spot. Today I received my Race Top from Heal The Planet! Its getting more and more real! Thank you to all that have supported so far and I hope to provide more updates. Stay Cool!

Week 1 is almost complete and I have made it to 44% of my fundraising Goal for Heal the Plant. I am very proud and thankful for my friends and family support and donations. Pretty special to have people behind the success of this event and run. Week 3 of Training has also gone well so far. I have been hitting my distance goals and making each workout count.

I will be running the Chicago Marathon this October to support an incredible cause, the Heal the Plant Charity, and I need your help! Heal the Plant is dedicated to making a positive impact on our environment and promoting sustainability. The funds we raise will directly support our initiatives aimed at reforestation, conservation education, and community engagement in environmental stewardship. Your contributions will help us plant trees, restore natural habitats, and provide resources and programs that educate and empower individuals to take action in their own communities. Every dollar you donate will go a long way in helping us achieve our mission to heal and protect our planet for future generations. As I train for this marathon, I am running not just for personal achievement but for the health of our earth. I truly believe that together, we can make a difference, and I would be grateful for your support, whether it’s through donations or by spreading the word about Heal the Plant. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a positive change with me. Let's make an impact together!
