Hi Brian,
I really admire the cause you're running for. Way to go! I was looking at your training log and noticed a steady diet of high-mileage days. Sorry to be nosy, but have you tried periodicity training? One easier week a month, and an easy month a year, allow your body to recover from all those miles. It's also good to change the stresses on the body with varied training--trailrunning, occasional hill or other resistance intervals, weightlifting, complementary sports, and of course rest. You probably already know all this, so feel free to ignore the unsolicited advice. Anyway, keep up the good work and best of luck raising money!
