Francisco's AIDS Marathon Update

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

Well, my fist official week of training has been great!

Last Saturday, we were all timed for a 3-mile run, and I was placed

in my pace group.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I did my circuit training for a

weekly total of 900 sit-ups, 75 push-ups (working on increasing that

number), and about 3 hours of upper body work using free weights. On

Tuesday and Thursday, I did my maintenance runs, logging 4 miles each

day.

This Saturday will be the first run with my pace group. While we'll

only be completing 4 miles, we have to start somewhere. I'm just so

excited and grateful that I can do this type of physical activity.

Losing 153 lbs has given me physical freedom I never knew existed.

It feels WONDERFUL!

My generous sponsors have donated $475 so far, so I only need $1255

more sponsorship dollars to reach the minimum required to participate

in the marathon. The SF National AIDS Marathon Training team has

raised $67,260 so far. Our goal is to raise $1 million dollars to

help keep the men, women and children who are dealing with HIV/AIDS

alive until there is a cure.

You can still help me to achieve this dream of running 26.2 miles in

the San Francisco Marathon. But more importantly, the money we raise

will allow the San Francisco AIDS Foundation to continue to provide

vital AIDS services and support needle exchange programs throughout

the Bay Area to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. Proceeds will also

fund the Pangaea Fund, a new initiative to support vaccine

preparedness and HIV treatment access in the developing world.

Please consider sponsoring me at www.aidsmarathon.com. I'm

participant (runner) 6010 in the San Francisco Marathon.

Thanks to my generous sponsors:

Lam*; Mona Wentling*; Valley Relocation and Storage**;

Steve Blow; lba Pena*; Atlantis Black; Tamra Doughty; Gemma
