I got sick of being sick, and started running again last week despite the cough. It's virtually gone, and I feel good again! Not up to the mileage I want, but will get there. It's SO much easier now than a couple months ago!
Decided NOT to run for charity, and will take my chances in the lottery of getting in. The deadline is this friday to apply, and I have a check coming in the day before that will give me enough to put in the application. I'll be joining NY Road Runners along with the entry, so even if I don't get in this year, I'll keep running and do some of their shorter races to get in practice and in shape. If I do, which I'll know in a few weeks, I'll be on track for Nov 4th! And a lot happier about not having to beg my friends/family for the $2500 in pledges that the charity requires.
