My Summer 2010 Training Schedule

Part of Fitness | Tags: , , , , ,

I have two big events planned for the year. The first is the Chicago Marathon on October 10. This one is neat because my wife, Sandy and daughter, Lauren will be accompanying me for their first marathon. I won’t be setting any land speed records because just 2 weeks later, I will be running the 100-Mile Endurance Challenge – an ultramarathon to benefit the 100 Mile Club on October 23-24. Here is my Summer 2010 Training Schedule.

100-Mile Ultramarathon

Part of Fitness

Many of my friends and family know that I’m running in a 100-Mile Ultramarathon on October 23, 2010 to raise awareness and funds for the 100 Mile Club®. This event starts at the William McKinley Elementary School (the site of the first 100 mile club) in Corona, CA and finishes some time the next day at the Santa Monica Pier. The time limit is 30 hours. Even $5 would make a difference!

The 100 Mile Club® (www.100mileclub.com) is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose focus is addressing childhood obesity one school at a time. 100% of the proceeds from 100-Mile Endurance Challenge will directly sponsor students in new and currently participating schools. Those kids that join have the goal of running (or walking) 100 miles at school during a single school year. The 100 Mile Club has grown to serve over 15,000 students in 6 states and earned an Outstanding Non-Profit Organization award for 2009. It also was voted the #3 idea in the 2010 Pepsi Refresh program.
