OT: running and quilting

So, its semi off topic. As I posted a few months ago, I am running the Chicago Marathon in October to raise money for the Chicago AIDS Foundation. It's a good cause and it will make me get in shape. To date I have run/walked over 125 training miles, swam a bunch and have been riding my bike to work! I have had some knee trouble but the swimming is helping that alot. I had decided as an incentive to get people to donate money to the cause I would make three quilts and the person making the highest donation would get one quilt, with the other two being given away in a drawing from the people who contribute $50 or more, I have one quilt top finished and will quilt it this week and then start on the next one. I have raised $1700, so I have met my minimum but hope to keep fund raising. Just thought I would update incase anyone was wondering how it was going! I have been keeping a blog at http:
