Week 1 - (sort of ) Week Ending January 15th

So, as my first post stated, I started this back in October/November, but as many who know me - I'm a huge procrastinator (no- really!!) - and I actually wrote tons of posts but never published anything. They either didn't really capture the spirit or what I wanted to say. Ultimately, like a term paper, you've just got to get it done and the project carries on in an end to itself.

Last week, my running consisted of the DFMC team run through the hills in Newton/Chestnut Hill and back through Watertown. My go forward plan is to update on weekly mileage goals

Donations: I want to give special recognition and a very BIG THANK YOU to my first donors: Rich and Patrick Corbett - both in memory of their dad, Dr. Lacey Corbett
The Travis Family - in memory of Everyone touched by Cancer
John Schroter - in support of Mass Highways (as I will be crushing the pavement of course - Thanks John)
Lori McGrath - in memory of Joyce Ippolito and James McGrath
Kevin Cotter - in memory of his dad and my uncle Joseph Cotter
The D'Amato Family - in support of me (thanks Angelo - you're one of the good guys!!)
The Fitzpatrick Family - in memory of Betty Fitzpatrick and Ruth Sullivan
Bob Brunelle and Family
Alley Catyb - in memory of his dad, Alley Catyb, Jr.

I also want to thank those who gave me some valuable advice (none of which was - don't do it - are you crazy??) from good friends and former marathoners Steve Marquedant, Tim Sullivan and Patrick Mullaney. There is no substitute for experience!!

Thank you to everyone for their donations and I'll keep updating!!
