Having been out of town for the Labor Day weekend, I did my 8-mile run on my own on Tuesday this week. At this point, I'm enough of an "old hand" at this that running eight miles by myself is no big deal. I ran from my place, down to the end of the Panhandle, through the Panhandle and Golden Gate Park to the bison paddock and back. I was feeling a bit worn out, but I took it easy and the weather was cool and it was a pleasant run.
The hardest thing about doing the eight-mile run this way is that, once I get as far as the Bison Paddock, it's hard to make myself turn around and go back! It feels like it's so close to the ocean, it's a shame not to just go ahead and run the rest of the way. But I stuck to my schedule and got my run in.
Fundraising is hanging in there. I managed to meet the September 4 deadline with over $1000, in order to avoid having my credit card charged, and now I have until October 11 to reach $3000. That's going to be a bit harder—my eBay auctions have been doing well, but I'm running out of things to sell, so I'm going to have to think about what to do next!
