It’s True… Committed to Madrid

Many of you who know me are thinking they possibly might have gotten the wrong blog update from the wrong Auston Copeland. No people, it is the truth! I have been trying to run since March of last year… It has been a love hate relationship that I have with running. Starting out last year I was barely able to run 15 minutes without thinking we needed to call an ambulance. As of now, it might not be too much better, but starting this week I am entering into training mode! That is right, cutting back on desserts and coke… and running mornings 5 days a week and fitness training in the afternoons! Now your probably wondering why I am telling you about this endeavor… it is because I need your help!  
     With about 4 months left here in Spain, at G42 Leadership Academy, I have $2,760 left to raise. So in the spirit of support raising I thought I would do something to make it interesting and fun! This is where you come in, I am looking for people to support me as I run! There are several ways to do this:

1. A one time pledge of any amount (click here)
2. Pledge a dollar amount by the km for the run (The race is 21.09km)
3. Pledge a dollar amount by the mile for the training (my watch times in miles & run anywhere from 12- 23 miles!)
4. Donate towards entry fee (23 euros), running shoes and running equipment, and travel expenses (email me at [email protected] for mailing address to send check)
5. Pray, because I need it!

If this is something you would like to do, or have questions, please email me at [email protected]. I will be blogging weekly about the training so you can follow me over the next month!

Much love,

Auston
