Marathon: National Marathon, Washington D.C.
Date: March 20, 2010
Goal time: 3hrs 10min (Boston qualifying time)
Previous marathon: Marine Corps Marathon (October 2009) in 3:48
Ambitious?: Yes. With this in mind, as long as I run it close to 3:30 I’ll be happy.
The blog and the fundraiser also act as an incentive to get me out and training to reach my lofty Boston-qualifying goal. Any words of inspiration would be appreciated!
If by some miracle I do qualify, I would hope to run it this April. I wouldn’t necessarily continue fundraising, but I would still do it in honor of Dan and wear Active Minds gear to bring more awareness!
keep your beak up against the wind!
Thank you for raising awareness for mental health issues. I saw your article in the Harrisonburg DNR this morning. I looked at your brother’s web site which is beautifully created. As a mother of a 15 year old son suffering from anorexia I was wanting to know which mental health issue Daniel had struggled with.
I wish you the best with your marathon tomorrow. Thanks again for sharing your brother’s story and for your passion to make mental health/illness not a taboo subject!!
