Make a Difference for ALS Walk/Run: Disappointment

Saturday was the 27th annual Make a Difference for ALS Walk/Run. It was hot and humid. Going into the run, I thought I was ready to take it up to the next level. I actually thought I could best my 8:31 time from Fergus Falls last month.

So I started out fast. The plan was to go with a 9:15 pace for the first mile and to speed up from there. As it turned out, I couldn't even hold the 9:15 pace for the whole first mile. I crashed and burned from there. I ended up with a time of 30:33.

On the bright side, I took 2nd place for the 50+ age group. And $38,000 was raised for patients and research.

Year 15 Complete

I finished running every street on my birthday - my 69th birthday. So, of course, I ran 6.9 miles. I'd like to say I did it in 69 minutes, but I didn't even try. I knew I wasn't ready for that. It took me 80 minutes, 22 seconds. I was plenty tired even when trying to take it easy...

I also did 69 push-ups and 69 pull-ups. When reviewing the video of the push-ups, I realized I'm still not doing them correctly. My goal now is to do 69 "correct" push-ups by the end of the year.

Of course, the pull-ups were not continuous, but even so, they weren't exactly correct either. So, my goal is to do 69 "correct" pull-ups sometime in the near future.

Thanks once again for everyone who contributed to Running Every Street. At least I didn't cheat at that.

Streets of Hope

The Plan: Run all the streets of Roseau
The Purpose: To reach inner-city kids with the Gospel of Jesus Christ

I run for health. I run to train for 5Ks. And now, for the fourteenth year, I'm also running so kids from Northeast Minneapolis can go to camp, retreats, and mission trips.

Over the next couple months I hope to run every street of Roseau. The city of Roseau has approximately 30 miles of streets. In order to hit every street, I need to re-run many streets over and over again, so it ends up being about 90 miles.

Would you like to help kids in Northeast Minneapolis and, at the same time motivate me to keep on running? Here's how you can help:

Pledge

10 cents per mile: $9.00 total

or 25 cents per mile: $22.50 total

or $1 per mile: $90 total
or some other amount

All of the donations received will go to Living Hope Ministries. Please send me an email (stynsberg at wiktel dot com) and let me know how you'd like to help out.
