The $200 Mile

$200 BillThat’s not a typo up there in the progress box. I finished mile #50 yesterday and in doing so was able to turn the first $50 into $200. Pretty cool trick I hope to be able to pull off again in the future. And it wasn’t hard to do.

Basically, I donated $50 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which was generously matched by my company. That $100 then became $200 thanks to a program LLS is currently running with the United Food and Commercial Workers. The UFCW will match $1 million in donations to LLS made between now and December 31, 2010. Definitely glad I could take advantage of that great program.

And I keep running. It took me 42 days to finish the first 50 miles. I’m up to a pace of about one and a half miles per day, so if I keep it up I should get that second 50 miles done quite a bit quicker. Still going strong, feeling sore less and less, battling a period of what I call cold weather in Florida, and feeling good to be able to make a contribution to LLS.
