It has been a very busy week. Between taking my board exam and running, I haven't had too much extra time!
Today Darla and I ran the Nike+ Human Race. It was a 10K (6.25 miles) race that started and ended at Soldier Field. They also held the same race in 25 cities around the world...with a total of over half a million people!
Just in time for the race, a new set of pajamas arrived from SnoreStop. I definitely stood out in the crowd with my all white pajamas in a sea of red Nike tshirts!I have a confession to make...I was beat by a girl! Yes, thats right. Darla beat my time by 2 whole seconds! She did an amazing job. This was her first time ever running more than 5 miles, and she did the whole race without walking at all!My good friend Dan was our official photographer and support crew. It is always great to have someone cheering for you at the finish line. Thanks Dan!
Welcome to Miles For Macha

I will be running the New York City Marathon on November 2, 2008. This website will be a blog of my experiences while training for this marathon.

Donations
I am committing months of training, sweat, and pain into running these 26.2 miles.
I am asking for each of you to pledge $1 for each mile that I will be running on November 2. In other words, I am asking everyone to dig deep into their pockets and donate $26.20 to this worthy cause. This money will help the school in Macha, Zambia, to purchase a reliable 4x4 vehicle to transport students and supplies.
