Its getting closer

Most of the hard training is now behind me.  Last Wednesday was my final training day with the Baltimore Police Marathon Team and we ended it with a 21 mile run.  Keeping at a slow and steady pace, we finished in about 3 hours and 30 minutes.  The distance was a huge confidence lift for me and I feel ready.  Our final training run was covered by a local news network and the story can be found at:

Tomorrow is the Baltimore Running Festival.  The Baltimore Police Marathon Team (comprised of 60 officers) has raised over $10,000 for the Signal 13 Foundation, a charitable organizations that provides financial support to police families during times of crisis.  A special thanks to Corrigan Sports and Under Armour for supporting the Baltimore Police Department and for designing awesome team racing shirts. I am looking forward to running the 1/2 marathon tomorrow and will be using the day as a dress rehearsal for Athens.   

Good luck to all the runners participating in the Baltimore Running Festival!
