"As I continue to increase my fitness level, I am looking for more challenges." - Valerie Bertinelli
Wow... two months of training down, three to go. That's pretty crazy to think about! That's why now is SUCH a hard time to stay focused on training and fund raising. It's so easy to get off track with running on a schedule or not keep pushing for those extra dollars.
Speaking of which, it's official! My first fund raiser will be at East End Bar and Grill in New York City on Friday, March 19th 7:30-10:30 open bar with $35 cover ($5 goes to Boston Debate League). And my second event will be held at Chicago Uno's in Kenmore Square in Boston, all day, Saturday, March 27th (if the combined total of money spent by people equals less that $1000, BDL gets 15%, over $1000, BDL gets 20%!) I'm so excited for both of these events!
I also just got an email today saying I am officially registered for the marathon, and my name will soon be added to the "entrants" list online. Just browsing through some of the names I saw how MANY states and countries people are coming from. It's insane! I also heard Valerie Bertinelli (who's birthday is the same as mine) say on the Today show that SHE plans to run the marathon. Well if Val can do it, I certainly can!
Katharine and I had a pretty decent run today around Brookline. We kept up an average of a 9:00 minute pace, and did some serious catching up. We've decided to call the marathon "our baby" because it consumes our lives so much, like a newborn haha
I also got hit, for the second time this week, with the post-run-not-enough-rest syndrome. This is where I immediately do a slew of other things right after I run (like... going to Uno's to fill out the application) instead of resting. Now at 9:30 I am EXTREMELY tired, and I think that run is catching up with me.. I think I'll let it..
