Confidence Builder

20.

20!

Twenty!

I ran twenty miles this weekend. At once. I'm sure there are lessons to be learned and insights to be gleaned. But since finishing, I have been enjoying the accomplishment.

While there is time to be pleased with myself, there is still training to be done and a half marathon race next weekend in Hyannis.  But for now, this was a confidence builder I needed and I am going to savor it.

I am representing Framingham at the 2014 Boston Marathon and am raising money for a local charity. Writing this Blog helps me with the challenge and the training. Feel free to write “Run, Stu, Run!” in the Comment section and feel free (please) to donate to the cause. I have set up a “Go Fund Me” account at http://www.gofundme.com/5srci4 to help raise the money for the Boys and Girls Club in Framingham.
