Kate's New York Marathon!

Kate's New York Marathon!
Story
Thanks for supporting the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation!
I'm off to NY in November to explore, take photographs of her (NY is female after all!) and to sit in Central Park and enjoy the silence!
It's running time again! And what a perfect opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do - run around Central Park!! Thought I might throw in a marathon too! (well, a marathon with a difference for us non-marathon types!)
"The marathon is a long-distance (very long!) running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (far out!!) that is usually run as a road race. The first New York City Marathon, in 1970, was four-plus laps of Central Park (now, that's a big park!)".
I'll be in NY for 8 days so I'm going for it! My official distance will be 42.195 km's, but I'll run it over 8 days...still a big ouch! That's about 5.3 km's a day (give or take a few Cosmopolitan nights which may lead to 10km's a day!) Of course, I'll post photos of my training progress & all the action from New York!
Again, thanks for supporting the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation!

Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation
Every eight hours, one woman dies from ovarian cancer in Australia. The key to changing this statistic is early detection.
Ovarian cancer is an insidious disease, often known as a “silent-killer” as symptoms are vague and often strike without warning. Unlike many other cancers there is no early detection test. Consequently ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in its late stages and only 29% of these women will survive beyond five years of diagnosis. In comparison, survival rates increase to 90% when ovarian cancer is detected and treated early.
The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation is Australia’s pre-eminent ovarian cancer research body. Our goal is to raise ovarian cancer awareness and vital funds for the development of an early detection test that will save women’s lives.
We receive no government funding and rely on the support of our community and business supporters to assist in driving our research forward.
Together we can raise awareness of ovarian cancer in Australian communities and the importance of developing a detection test that identifies the level of ovarian cancer in a patient and its extent of advancement. A test that can greatly improve long-term survival rates of Australian women.
