Marathon Monday and other not so good stuff.
Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way first. Early Sunday, I was rudely awakened to find out that someone STOLE MY CAR. Ok, let me back up…this was my first car, a car I’ve owned for the last 9 years but has recently been up for sale because I bought another car several months ago. Anyway, it’s just gone. Apparently someone had stolen another Honda Civic, dumped it several yards from my house and then STOLE MY CAR. Ugh, I feel so violated.
What’s astounding is that whoever it was stole it in broad daylight. We’re estimating about 7am-ish. My neighbourhood is pretty decent. There isn’t alot going on and I suspect it was a couple of teenagers going for a joyride and stealing cars in the area. I’m not sure…but the annoying part is that we had just recently negotiated with a neighbor to purchase my car. Sigh. Oh, I don’t even want to think about the condition of the car when and if it is ever recovered.
Despite having a new car, there is a lot of sentimental value that is wrapped up with my little white Honda. We’d been through a lot. 180,000 miles worth of memories. 
Marathon Training Update:
Total Mileage for June: 39.3 miles.
Running is going as well as expected. I don’t have injuries, luckily and have been doing well to stay up with the running times. We ran 6 miles last Saturday and are scheduled to run 8 miles this coming weekend. Our mileage goes up this month where we will be running 14 miles by the end of July.
I also have my first race this Wednesday! I’ll be participating in the 14th Annual Village Run 5K Race in Redondo Beach.
Again, if you can help me with the marathon, I would definitely appreciate your support in the fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
My goal is to raise $4000 and if you can help support the cause and my race, please do so! Visit my fundraising website for details. It’s a fantastic cause and one where the money we raise, goes to research and helps save lives. So if you are one of the few knitting readers who come across this blog…I appeal to you for help and TO SPREAD THE WORD. Thank you!

Òh my gosh, no, this is some terrible news indeed! What a nightmare - this is something I’m constantly worrying of as it happens quite regularly around here. I’m so sorry that it happened to you, and mind you, I can very well understand about the sentimental value your car had for you!
All the best of luck with the marathon, I’m having my fingers crossed for you!
