Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting this site which is dedicated to raising money for the Humane Society of Charlotte through my half marathon run. My good friend Stacey and I are currently training for the Kentucky Derby Half Marathon in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday April 24, 2010. I will be running to benefit the animals at the Humane Society of Charlotte.

Please give if you can or just find out more about how you might help the Humane Society with in-kind donations (goods or services), or even by volunteering. Or just enjoy reading about the experience.

Donate
(READ BEFORE DONATING: In the "How did you hear about us" field, PLEASE SELECT "Other" and in the "If Other" field - enter "Sharon Walters")

Here are some interesting facts about what your donation can do:
  • $25 will feed four hungry kittens for one week.
  • $50 will provide a warm bed for dogs in their kennel.
  • $75 will pay for spay/neuter surgery to prevent more homeless animals.
See more examples on the Humane Society of Charlotte website.

If you have any interest, from time to time, I'll update this site with updates on our training progress. As of the first week of February, we are currently working on 9 miles as a long run, running 4 times a week. Our training takes us up to 12 miles a few weeks before the half marathon. Of course after the race, I'll post our results and some pictures.

Thanks again for visiting.

Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, SC


A little under a month now until the half marathon. We had a good practice race this weekend in Charleston and it went very well. We finished in 1:05 and felt great. Next milestone... 12 mile run, then the half!

Corporate Cup 5k + a long run home!

Last Sat. we were up early and ran in the Corporate Cup 5k. Then we needed to add on another 5 miles to get in our long run for the week so we ran from downtown (ehem...uptown) all the way back to Stacey's house. It felt very Forrest Gump (on a small scale) running from College Street, down 7th to Elizabeth, through Chantilly and eventually ending up finishing just off The Plaza. Great 8 miler. We're feelin' good about it.
