Philadelphia Half-marathon 2008
David, we must make that an annual event! I completed the 13.1 mile distance in 2 hours and 31 minutes on a very cold Sunday morning.
We still have work to do for the fundraising goal! The objective is to raise 3000 by having 600 people donate 5.00. I received a very generous donation of 100 dollars from my mentor - THANK YOU!

Finished the Marathon!
After I got educated at SIS Fitness with the 5 pillars of fitness, I set a goal to lose 30 pounds and complete the Broad Street Run (10 Miles). When I accomplished those goals, I set a bigger goal to complete the Philadelphia Marathon. This goal was so big that I had to add a couple of check points along the way (Virginia Beach Half-Marathon and Army Ten Miler). I had to prove that I had self-discipline to accomplish these goals. I ran that race in 5 hours and 10 minutes (and my legs are sore to prove it :-) Now that they are done, I have a goal to get my community to share information and take advantage of the internet. My new goal for http://www.diversephilly.com is 1000 businesses and I depend on the network to make it happen. This will be aligned with my next fitness goal - The Philadelphia Triathlon on June 1st, 2007. I need to learn how to swim and get on a bike sometime soon...... Stay tuned!
