The Mission:

From Nov. 28th, 2008 to Feb. 8th, 2009 (12 weeks) I intend to run 13 races of marathon distance (26.2 miles) or greater to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In total, if all goes as planned, approximately 388 miles will have been covered over a span of a 12 week time frame and a significant amount of money will have been raised for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

100% of donations will go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Lot's of stuff...

There's so much going on, I haven't posted in too long, and I'm still very busy... so, I'm gonna give a real quick, bare-bones sort of update... I'll post some 'real' updates early next week once things slow down/I catch up...

  • Seattle (and really most of Washington) got hit with a BIG storm on Wednesday 12/17... the roads (along with EVERYTHING else) have been a mess up and were up until Saturday 12/27.
  • Saturday 12/20 was Pigtail's Flat Ass 50K - I made it down there, finished in 5:11:10, and was greeted at the finish by my wife and friends, Steve & Johanna, it was a very nice surprise!
  • Sunday's Tiger Dumb Ass 50K was canceled due to the weather :-(
  • As a make up race, I registered for the Christmas Marathon that was to happen on 12/28... it too ended up getting canceled, something which I found out last minute, second hand (as opposed to being contacted by anyone associated with the race)... there may be a chance that the registration fee can be transferred to the Valentine Marathon on 2/7 which would still fit into the 12 week window, but all that remains to be seen at this point...
  • There's a plan to do a make up run this Friday (1/2) of the Tiger Dumb Ass, though it will be an unofficial race in the Marathon Maniacs eyes, it will still satisfy THIS '13 in 12' plan ensuring that those who have donated get their monies worth...
  • Finally, and most importantly, as of today, we're up to $2940.42!!! Please continue to forward this site address on to your friends and family so that the dollar total will continue to rise!

I'm so proud of you! Great job - and there's only so much you can do between Mother Nature and race officials, so keep up the good work!!
