With just three weeks until the first event it's time to get this going!
The first official run of 12 in 12 is the Eugene Half Marathon, May 1st in Eugene Oregon (where else would the Eugene half marathon be?). A good group from the Alma Running Room is heading to Eugene this year, most to run the marathon (including my husband, Dave, who is running his first marathon). A few of us will be running the half and then cheering on the marathoners as they finish at historic Hayward Field. The Eugene marathon has a number of associated charities, the main one being the American Cancer Society. Keeping things closer to home April is daffodil month and you can wear a daffodil pin in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.
Training is going well for this event, after a minor set back with a misdiagnosed stress fracture in my foot I am back on the road and was quite happy with being able to complete the Fool's run a week ago. This weekend is an 18 km run, circumnavigating North Delta, which I'll be doing on my own on Saturday so that I can support the marathoners, with a water/treat station, on their 35 km run from 4th and Alma to Deep Cove on Sunday.
On the Ed.D. front the last required course is complete and I am currently working on developing a reading list for a directed readings course this summer. I'm going to spend my summer becoming an expert on advocacy coalition theory and on issues surrounding tenure, rank and promotion.
