Gums Bleeding Veneers

The Chicago Marathon - need your help!

I announced on Facebook , I enrolled in Chicago Marathon be held on 11 October.

I entered through a foundation that is named "A Running Start , a non-profit uses sport to improve the lives of Africans from the east. This region of the world is the homeland of many of the best marathoners in the world and the foundation "A Running Start" supports some future athletes by giving them access to university education, and using athletes to inspire urban youth and villages to remain in school.

In their words:

Our Mission Is To harness this talent in order to allow more East Africans to earn a U.S. university education from their athletic gift, to leverage sports to inspire local children to stay in school and to enable more talented young athletes to earn a living from the sport.

Je me suis engagé à trouver un minimum de 500$ de dons (avec un objectif de 1000$). La course est une de mes passions mais tant qu’à courir aussi bien en faire profiter d’autres qui ont la même passion et un peu moins de chance.

I'll invite you to visit my web page and give a few dollars ... why not ...

My last marathon was the "Breast Cancer Marathon " in February 2008 at Jacksonville Florida.

42.2 km under a blazing sun and a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius which 4 km on a beach. My official goal was to finish below four hours. Result: I finished in 3:59:03 which ranked 4th got 196 in my category (Woman of my age group!)

In June 2008 I did the 20 km Tour du Lac Brome 1:44 , a very good time since the route is hilly, it was very hot and I celebrated with friends who have a cottage yesterday. I was hoping for a new and improve my marathon time in the fall of 2008 but I'm overtrained during the summer and I fractured my tibia (Ouch!).

This will be my first marathon since the injury but hope nonetheless manage to win 10 minutes and finish the marathon in under 3:50 allows me to qualify for the Boston Marathon. One of my many dreams ...

The Boston Marathon is the oldest marathon which is still run annually. It's a marathon mythical and difficult. The only way to participate is to qualify in a marathon before and approved by finishing in a time determined selon sa catégorie d’âge. 3h50 pour moi!

Le parcours du Marathon de Chicago est reconnu pour être rapide car il est plat (d’ailleurs si vous voulez le voir en accéléré il est disponible ici ). Toutefois comme plus de 40 000 participants prennent le départ de la course je me dis que ce doit être un peu le bordel…

Tout ça sans compter les imprévus… En 2007, un homme est mort , 49 autres coureurs ont été hospitalisés et le marathon a été stoppé à cause d’une heat wave.

It is also possible injuries and the fact that starting a marathon you know you started but you have no guarantee of the end ... it all depends on how the machine will react ...

All these contingencies do not prevent me to dream ... It's in 15 weeks and so I began my training with maximum motivation question put the odds on my side ... Although it between you and me it's not the temperature that helps!

So here, I encourage you to the cause for which I course, I will keep you informed of progress of the training
