Thank you all for helping kick start my CCFA Team Challenge fundraising! It has been a great first week, and thanks to your extreme generosity, I am about a quarter of the way to attaining my goal of raising $2,700 to support Crohn's research. Check out the progress bar on my fundraising page!

I would also like to give special recognition to the week's top donors... Paul Hess, Joshua Glasser, and Jane Hagner!
Training progress update
I have not yet set or started a formal training program for the half marathon, because I will probably use a roughly 12-week program... meaning I need to start in sometime in September. However, I have been continuing my normal day-to-day runs for general fitness, and this past week I logged a total of 36.5 miles, and although I have not been keeping detailed track, I would estimate my comfortable, average pace to be somewhere in the ballpark of 9 minutes per mile... not too shabby for me. My running endurance, and the frequency with which I need to make stops, have improved with my current medication regimen, so I hope things continue to get better with regard to my Crohn's symptoms this fall.
Team Challenge Kick-off Party
This upcoming week, the St. Louis Team Challenge group will have it's Kick-off Party for the Las Vegas half marathon. It will be held Wedneday, August 22 at 7:00 pm at the Forest Park Visitor's Center Learning Lab. I mention this to let you know it's not too late to sign up to be a Team Challenge participant for Las Vegas. Go here for more details.
