Hi everyone (or no one!!)
There is still time to donate! Gifts are totally over-rated, I would much prefer your support to this amazing charity. Plus, there is still the competition to win a $15o Godiva Gift Basket. Who is more generous, american or french???

Here is a picture I found online of me during the half marathon. I am such a happy runner!!!
47 days until the race. It's the final count down (music in the background)! I am mentally very ready, but I still bought a book about running and the work on mentally preparing for a race. (and no Chris, that still does not make me a runner. I just happen to be running a lot these days...)
I am starting to get nervous about this coming weekend's 20 mile run. My converse killed my pinkie toes and I have not gotten this weekend the rest I needed.
On the bright side, I am getting my new watch this week. I will no longer need to ask my running buddies for time/pace/whatever.
Plus, I think I found a new route to try: the three bridges: bk, then manhattan, up east side/1st ave and finally queensboro. Prob head back to queensboro and run through roosevelt island.
It's longer than I might do during the week, but it could be fun!!
Finally, regarding the charity (because it's really all about the kids). A couple cool facts:
- 82.6%, or .83 cents of every dollar goes to NYRR Youth Services.
- Did you know that it takes only $50 to cover the cost of one child's participation in NYRR Youth Services and Programs for an entire year? That means, that you, me, US are giving 50 kids the gift of running for one year if we meet the $2,500 goal
So, again, what are you waiting for? It's time to make a difference:
