Hopefully, this link will work. I've had issues posting the link on Facebook. Every time I post it, it disappears. So, here's the link to the video of my interview with the ABC affiliate in the Boise area, channel 6 news. It was a morning news show, and I'm stoked that I was able to get on the air and get the message out. Hopefully, this will help promote my efforts and bring in some despirately need money for these charities.
Also, I got a package from Forged Clothing last week and have been so busy with the training and kids that I failed to mention the great gear that they had sent me. I got 3 super sweet and VERY comfy t-shirts. One that I will wear before the race. I will not wear it during the race as I've seen the vest rub off the screen printing on a fire t shirt from the sweat and rubbing. But I will wear it before the event and after the event as well. I will get some pics of the shirts up and show them tomorrow. But I wanted to mention them, and say THANKS to FORGED CLOTHING. If you haven't seen their stuff, you really should check them out. I could easily go bankrupt and/or divorced if I bought everything that I thought was awesome off of their site.
Life around the Sanchez house hold has been super busy, hence the slow updates on the blog. It's not that I haven't been working out or getting ready for the event. I've had my shift changed at work the other week, and with that change, it meant that I was working every other day for almost 2 weeks straight. It was rough on all of us, and I just spent a lot of time with the kids, and had no free time to really post a new blog. As it is, I started this blog on Thurs after the interview and here it is Sat night, and I'm trying to get it done. Still haven't gotten all the pics done of the FORGED gear, but I promise that they'll be up soon. I spoke with A local DJ today from KISS FM, named Keke Luv who is doing a promotion and awareness of child abuse by fasting and being on the street corner for over 7 days. I told him what I was doing, and he said to give him a call later and maybe I'll be able to promote the event and fundraiser for the Fallen Firefighter Memorial and the Lone Survivor Foundation. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!
As far as the training goes, I am now going into the taper down part of the training with only a week left before the event.
My buddy Gabe and I hit the course for a run early this morning. Let me start by saying that it was cold. There was still snow on a few parts of the road and off to the sides as well. It was lightly snowing on us as we made our way up the hill. On the way down, I ended up pulling the hood up on my sweat shirt. I don't know the exact distance, but it is somewhere in the nature of 5 - 5 1/2 miles that we went one way. We started where the pavement ends and went to the summit in just under an hour. I wasn't pushing it too hard, just going for the run and trying to not over due it. I did do the run without the vest as I need to save my feet. After a distance run with the vest, my feet do hurt for a day or 2 after, so I did the run today without the weight. The road conditions weren't too bad, but I'm, hoping that the weather is a little nicer to us on race day.

Wens 4/06
10k run with the full 40# vest. Time: 1:11:15 (one hr, eleven min). The run was a little tougher than I thought it would be. My calves were stiff forever. It seriously took ~ 2 1/2 miles to finally stretch out enough for the pain to subside. I would end up running a mile, then walking for a min. Run to the end of mile 2, and walk for a min. By the mile 3 mark, I was able to keep going, although they were still a little sore.
