Quick Update

Just a quick update before I head out for my 16 mile run.

I have reached my personal goal for the DetermiNation program. In a little over 2 weeks I have raised $1,526.00. There are still 56 days to the event- I don't keep a countdown, the donation website does (I prefer just to look at it on a week-by-week basis. There is plenty of time to keep fundraising but at least a huge load of pressure is off my shoulders. Did I mention should I fail to raise the minimum amount my credit card would be have been charged that amount ;).

I have to tell you the most ironic part of this all. Cesse is in town and as we opened the 4 envelopes that arrived in the mail yesterday, it was the envelope from my friend's mom that I'm running for that pushed me over the minimum requirement of fundraising. What a crazy thing. When I told the story to the girls at the game, we all got goosebumps.

I'm soooo excited I want to jump and scream! But instead I'll save it for the 16 mile run. I am a little nervous because I was out pretty late with the girls at the Cardinal game, which they won, and I know that my nutrition and hydration was not up to par. I did the best I could with the circumstances and I'll do the same again today. I ended up not 'canning' for money at the game last night. Since I was so close to my goal I wanted to spend time catching up with my girlfriends instead of standing on the streets. I think it was time well spent- and I didn't have to ask randos for money. But I have such a great group of friends because they all showed up ready to help :)

Okay well I need to run, literally. I'll be back later to let you know how the run goes.
