It's downhill from here...

Both running and fund-raising is all about making progress, and the last week seems that I made a great progress in both.
Thanks to a great response from both my co-workers, friends and even people that I never met, I'm already getting close to half of my fund-raising goal. I keep telling myself that it will be "downhill from there". I'm hoping that once I cross the half-way mark, it will only be easier to count marks towards the finish line. So far I'm really happy with 46% mark:
Running was pretty good too. First I ended week with a great boot-camp workout, that I topped off with a mile run (7:29/mile). Then we went with our friends for a short and easy bike ride, but they were taking off for Sacramento later on that day, so the short easy ride had to do it. Finally I went today to the track for my long run of the week. This time I challenged myself to run 6miles. I ended up running 10K (6.2miles) at average 9:00/mile pace. This was first time running at the Bud Winters Field with my Forerunner 301. It was great to have something keep the tabs on mileage automatically, cause last time when I run there I was getting lost with how many laps I finished, and how many more to go. The other advantage of using GPS is that you get much more precise mileage readouts, than just by counting laps. The complete data for the workout are as usually on tprzyg.motionbased.com site.
It's great to know that even now I could run the Wharf-to-Wharf in less than an hour, but I'm hoping that by the race day (July 22) I'll be able to run better and faster.
BTW: I'll start the regular training for my marathon run with TNT in June, that means I'll have roughly 4 months. As with everything - there's always a lot of room for improvement, so I'll have to keep on training!
