Fundracing for the SF Marathon with Back on My Feet: Months 1/2 update

Image
Helllllo to my loyal fan base!!!! Well -- the creating a video a week thing sure was ambitious. Work, triathlon training, fun, travel, etc got in the way, and what can I say, I'm a little overeager sometimes! I decided to wrap the past few weeks up in a recap, monthly style 😎 See below for the most recent YouTube update on how training with Lord Frederick for the SF Marathon is going! If anything incentivizes you to watch -- let it be some epic pictures of Lord Frederick and I dressed up for Bay to Breakers ... I am still trucking towards my fundracing goal to support Back on My Feet San Francisco as I run the SF Marathon! Interested in supporting?

Fundracing for the SF Marathon with Back on My Feet: Week 2

At long last, what you've all been waiting for .... Week 2's video at the bottom of the post! If you're just checking this out for the first time, here's a link to Week 1's post to see what this is all about. Lord Frederick, Pete, & Achilles team Back on My Feet teams up with November Project! Over the weekend I had a work trip to Florida, so had the joy of completing my long run in temperatures far more hot and humid than what the Bay Area usually blesses me with. As I slogged through my 10 miles, Lord Frederick ran his long run with the Achilles Group, a non-profit that helps physically challenged runners. Back on My Feet volunteer Pete was there to run to Ocean Beach and back guiding Lord Frederick! The rest of the week was filled with fun and words of wisdom as usual. Check out the video for some footage and a special guest (think Antonio Banderas circa 1998) that showed up to the run on Friday! Thanks for your continued support and hope you ...

You may have heard me talk about BoMF or post about it -- it is   an incredible organization that has been such a large part of my life for the past year and a half living in San Francisco. For those of you unfamiliar with BoMF's work and mission, we aim to combat homelessness through education, financial aid and stable housing opportunities, and most importantly of all, the power of coming together for a morning run. Because my experience fundracing and running the SF Marathon was so incredible, I decided to do it again this year -- but with an upgrade! On July 29th, 2018 , I will be running the 26.2 miles again, this time alongside a BoMF member. Lord Frederick, a team SoMA member, artist, friend, and TOTALLY BLI...
