Running for the Hotel Con Corazon Foundation

Update: I need more sponsors to raise $2,000 for the Hotel Con Corazon Foundation. Today I ran 16.3 miles non-stop in 10.33 per mile. It felt great, I am not going to have any problems running that marathon. Kenzie did 18 miles in 10.11 per mile........ yes she is clearly #winning. I can't wait for the Marathon to start (not, it is going to be very painful). Inspire us even more by donating towards Hotel Con Corazon!

Wow! Longest and hardest 11 mile run ever..... that didn't feel Marathon worthy. I just need to get a good 15 mile run in next weekend. That should be a game changer. Kenzie on the other did a 17 mile run!!!! Wow! No doubt that she is going to be fine during the Marathon.

I ordered some new shoes and these shoes should make my runs a lot more comfortable.

Meanwhile please feel to Donate towards better education in Nicaragua - check out the website of the Hotel Con Corazon Foundation http://hotelconcorazonworldwide.com/expansion/nicaragua/crowdfunding

Here is an update on our training progress:

Kenzie is just on fire: https://www.facebook.com/kenzie.mckeon.1/fitness_running?pnref=story
She did 14 miles on her last run, I did 12 miles last weekend and this evening I did a mere 8 miles: http://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/858870459?fb_action_ids=10153548448738032&fb_action_types=fitness.runs&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%5B940417392634985%5D&action_type_map=%5B%22fitness.runs%22%5D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D

My excuse for only doing 8 miles at such a slow pace? Taking business calls whilst running.

My goal for next weekend: 15 miles! (Gotta beat Kenzie!)

I am just keeping the main goal in mind, running the Marathon to raise some extra money which will be used to improve the educational system in Nicaragua.

Will keep you updated! Feel free to donate at anytime!
