I am completing week 7 of my 18 week marathon training schedule. Saturday is 12 miles, let's hope that the temperature break before then.
I would love to get to $600 raised for @takebackthehalls.bsky.social before my Saturday run. I am only $41 dollars away.

Folks ask me how I can train for a marathon in the heat. Here's last week's rundown.

Tues: 3 miles temp 82-86

Fri: 4 miles blazing hot: high 91.

Sat: 6:30 am 5 miles, cooler temps in the 70s high 84.

Help me make all those hot and sweaty miles worthwhile?

This is me at 8:15 this morning after running 7 miles in temps already above 80 degrees! I need 8 more $13 donations to meet my goal of 13 donors/$13 each.

If you were still in bed at 8:15, this ask if for you!

Thanks to everyone who helped me reach my first week marathon fundraising goal! This week I am running 13 miles and my goal is 13 people donating $13. One down and 12 to go. Support @takebackthehalls.bsky.social work to prevent dating and sexual violence.

This is the 1st official week of marathon training! I am about to run hundreds of miles to raise support for
@takebackthehalls.bsky.social

I am hoping to match each week's miles with donations. This week I will be running 12 miles. I would love it if 12 people donated $12 this week.

Jealousy is a hot topic of discussion with the students of TBTH. It can be a tough emotion to navigate, but it doesn’t have to control you. In healthy relationships, trust and respect are key. You deserve love that makes you feel safe, valued, and supported. #HealthyRelationships

Self-love is the foundation of healthy relationships—including the one you have with yourself!

Remember: Self-love isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. 💕
