Week 6

Training is going great so far. With training runs of 8, 8, 5 and 5 miles this weeks total was 26 miles. This year as opposed to last year the training started much earlier and so far I have logged approximately 250 miles where as last year at this time I had around 40 miles behind me, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. Also the last 5 mile training run was run with my son Hunter he actually was kind to his old man and stayed with me for about 4 miles, when I tried to out kick him at the end he said "we'll have none of that " and left me to finish the last mile by myself. It was fun, which if you know me at all, the words fun and training have never before been used while marathon training.

Donations this week were received from Mr. and Mr Gerry Celano, The Graham Family, my Brother and Sisters from Medford Firefighters Local 1032, and Vinny Fratura from Hoff's Bakery in Medford, Ma.
