We were able to squeeze it in today between some heavy rain and were happy to cross over into the best point in marathon training- the taper!

Over the next two weeks we will continue running but at less volume and get the rest and repair we need before the big day.

Can't believe it's only 22 days away! The excitement and anticipation is really setting in. 

Thrilled to support Soldier's Charity and looking forward to the big day!

Next stop: LONDON! 

Thanks for the support!

Mike and Jessee

I am thrilled to be running in the 2022 TCS London Marathon and in particular in support of ABF: The Soldier's Charity. 

My husband Mike and I are both lifelong runners and in 2017 decided to tackle running all 6 World Major Marathons: Chicago, New York, London, Boston, Berlin, Tokyo. We have crossed off Chicago in 2017 and NYC in 2021, and both were incredible experiences. It's now time to head across the pond and experience the London Marathon, and we cannot wait for this race!

Supporting the Soldier's Charity is a cause close to us as Mike is an active duty Navy officer in the states, and we are honored to support other service members abroad while achieving this goal. 

This Friday we will officially be able to sign up for the race and start training. I can't believe its just 4 months away, and excited to see what this summer brings us as we train locally in the summer heat in North Carolina. Fortunately we have already found some amazing run groups! We are grateful for anyone who will support us by running alongside us in group runs, those who support us with donations to ABF, and moral support! For the next 16 weeks, eating pizza Friday nights with us in solidarity counts, too :) 

Thanks again for visiting and more updates to come along the way!
