I have a birthday coming up on Friday, it's not a huge one, but I have a huge favor to ask to help me celebrate the day... donate a couple $$ to support children's cancer research, like this one. In return, I'll ride 200 miles on my bicycle in September! greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/Chris...

Support My 200 Mile Ride to Fight Kids' Cancer!

Christopher Redden is riding in the Great Cycle Challenge. Please sponsor Christopher now to end childhood cancer and save little lives. View Christopher's fundraising page!

Swim number 2, walking a little better now, but still not great. Ran into some gym class buddies at the gym, can’t wait to join them again! #swimming #formswimgoggles #exercise #training

Day 1, week 13, getting to the half marathon! About 2 miles into the 5 miles I somehow stepped wrong and my left ankle decided to start hurting. Had to head back home and only got 3 miles into. Icing it now! Fun!!

Day 1, week 12, on the road to a half-marathon. This has been a fun self imposed journey and I’m amazed each time I complete another run. Only a few more weeks to go!

Day 3, week 11, pushing towards a half marathon. I was not in the mood this morning to run. My legs were stiff, one of my left toes was hurting, my breathing was off, it was cold, I was dehydrated … just ugh! But I did it.

Day 2, week 11. Easy 4.5 mile morning run on the path to a half marathon. I was having some pacing issues trying to go slow this morning, but still a solid run! #runna #running #halfmarathon

Day 1, week 9, running towards a half marathon! That was tough, legs were dead, breathing was heavy, and I still feel dehydrated from the weekend of fun. But I made it!!

Day 2, week 8, on target for a half marathon. That felt good, but I think I need to start doing morning runs now as it’s getting almost too warm out in the daytime.

On days that I’m not running or riding, I’m working on the rest of my body! Love the GTX classes at LifeTime Fitness!

Day 1, week 6 of the half marathon plan. This was an easy run, but also a Monday, so this one hurt a little. Sportin’ the Manards hat that Gpa Rassmussen got me! Just wish the weather was MN nice out in AZ too!
