I just got an email from Team in Training letting me know that I won a TNT visor because I've raised $333 over the past 2 weeks! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated - I truly appreciate your generosity. I'm 76% of the way there but still have a long way to go - $927 to be exact. Keep spreading the word and keep those donations coming! Hopefully lots of people come out to my fundraiser on Friday, August 27th on my Tribeca roof deck. I will send a save the date out soon!
On a different note, I am more than a little anxious about the prospect of running 26.2 miles in a little over 3 months. Sometimes I wonder what I am getting myself into. This video, which takes you on a journey through the marathon course, is pretty cool and inspirational but totally freaks me out. This article by Bob Glover on the NYC Marathon website is also pretty scary. He talks about the difficulty of the course, specifically mentioning the hills, wind, crowds, the logistics...by the end I am sufficiently nervous. I really need to start doing more work on hills. In the meantime, however, I really need to stop sitting at home in my apartment researching scary things about the marathon. I have to keep pushing on and trust that Hal Higdons will get me to that finish line! 101 days to go...
