Hey Y'all!
Well, Jon and I are in Qatar for two weeks, sadly having to change our training style. It is EXTREMELY hot here, in the 90's, and the humidity levels are sky rocketing. It is so difficult to run outside in this kind of heat, so we are training on the treadmills in the gym. At least we have this facility available to us!! The race is in 43 days and is getting more and more real to us and we are getting excited about it.
This weekend is another long run, so I'll be back to update how it all went! We're at the stage where we really have to push ourselves, and I have to push through the shin pain. But I know we're doing this for a good cause and that cause it to help raise money for the Sumatran Orangutan Society. Jon and I absolutely LOVE animals and love to help in the donating for endangered animals.
If you'd like to donate to our fund-raising for the Sumatran Orangutans, please click on the "Sponsor Me" widget on the right hand side of our blog, or click HERE.
Thank you so much for helping us to save the Sumatran Orangutans!!

Hello all! Thanks for stopping by our blog.
Steph and Jon are running in the Edinburgh Half Marathon this coming May to help raise money for the Sumartran Orangutan Society, (and to see if we can actually make it the whole 13 miles without keeling over). The SOS are working on projects which include supporting the establishment of a working Re-Introduction Center for ex-captive and refugee orangutans in Sumatra, Indonesia. By donating you'll be helping to save their natural habitat, (which is being lost at a rate of 6 football fields per minute in Indonesia), and we can help save a lot of other endangered animals like tigers, clouded leopards, and gibbons.

"Orangutans are found only in the isolate pockets of forest on the island of Sumatra and Borneo. Both species are on the brink of extinction. Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered with only 7,300 remaining in the wild. Extinction within 10 years is probable. Orangutans are radically interconnected with their environment, yet 80% of their habitat has been lost over the last 20 years. The Sumatran Orangutan Society is dedicated to conservation and welfare of Sumatran orangutans and their habitat."
