Running For Tish~ Bellingham Bay Half Marathon

I would like to take a minute to thank all of the people who have generously made a donation to Running For Tish~ Relay For Life fundraiser! I am happy to say that because of you I have been able to raise $265 in honor of Tish, for a cause that is so important and close to my heart.

Because I made it to the $200 mark I signed up for a half marathon just as I said I would! I spent quite a while going over all of the local (and some not so local) half marathons that take place between now and the end of September. It is harder than you would think to find a race that is appealing and works with your schedule!! I finally settled on the Bellingham Bay Half Marathon which takes place September 29th in Bellingham, Washington. I chose this race because of its location. I live less than an hour from here and Tish lived less than five minutes away. As I am running for her it seemed like an easy choice to run in her city. For the last month or so I have only been running about five miles a week so the idea of running 13.1 is a little scary. I have gotten in a few runs this week and am excited to start adding more and more miles as I train. I will get stronger and faster and I will be ready to take on the half marathon! I will run for Tish.
