FUNKOPOLIS POUNDING THE PAVEMENT

So, today marked the first paces of the challenge.  I woke up and ran five miles - only 54.7 to go!

Today was a pretty nice day to begin - sunny and warm, although by 9:00AM it was already pretty humid - a weather condition that, unlike most people, I really enjoy - but it's pretty hard to run long distance when it gets too humid.

Once I get a few miles further, I'll be posting a map, so you can keep track of where I am, "virtually" speaking.  As for my "real" course, for those of you familiar with the Lehigh Valley area, I ran from my house to Trexler Park, did the loop there, and came home, which is my default five-mile loop.  I'll be varying my course from day-to-day, but barring really awful weather, I think the time will remain consistent - somewhere between 9:00 and 10:30AM.

I forgot to mention - for those of you who aren't comfortable making an online pledge or donation, please feel free to send a check to us via the more traditional "snail mail":

Funkopolis

P.O. Box 3251

Allentown, PA  18106-0251

Please just make sure to make your check payable to "FRACTURED ATLAS", and on the memo line, write down FUNKOPOLIS.  Funkopolis is sponsored by Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.  Contributions to Fractured Atlas may be earmarked for support of Funkopolis and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

What became clear to me today on my run is that I'm going to need YOUR support!  If you want to hold off on actually making a pledge toward the run, as an incentive for me to actually finish what I've set out to do, that sounds like a great idea!

Simply e-mail me at funkopolisfusion@aol.com and let me know that you're supporting me - drop a note with your name, address, e-mail, and the pledge amount, so that we can keep track of total pledges received.

If you're still on the fence about making a pledge, that's completely OK - but keep coming back and checking to see how I'm doing.  Drop me an e-mail and let me know what you think.  If you have a specific challenge, let me know about that, as well, and I'll try to work it in to the challenge I've set up for myself.

OK.... off to drink some more water and take some Tylenol!  See you tomorrow!
