Just got home from a 4.5 mile training. I'm calling them training sessions because when I say run, people think I actually run the entire 4.5 miles. Um, no. I can't run, I'm still pretty obese (whatevs, I'm getting there) so I do a really freaking fast walk, and sometimes jog. Anyways, just got home, getting ready to make some dinner. Those 4.5 miles were a bit of a killer tonight. I made the poor decision to eat fried food last night, and so that did a number on me. I felt like a slug out there. Eh well.
So the marathon is one month and two days away. Starting to get a bit scared. I still haven't received my thing for iPod+Nike system to attach to my New Balances. Grr. I'm having to mapquest my distance. But I still have bigger fish to fry.
I've been so busy post-graduating and looking for a job and training, that I haven't raised a cent for Team CARE. I have a month to raise 900 bucks. Uh oh. Anyone have advice on raising money? I feel so bad just asking people for money. I may try to get little old me some press, see if that would bring some moolah in if I get a newspaper story written about me or get on local television. Keep your fingers crossed!
And of course if anyone wants to donate to Team CARE, there is a link to the right where you can go and donate. Just saying.... :)
Well, off to make some dinner and brainstorm ways to raise money! Keep on running!

HAVE A PARTY!! :) My friend is running the Chicago Marathon for Team in Training and she had a party. We all donated the liquor for her (we had $1 Jello Shots, $5 for all you can drink beer, $10 for all you drink beer and liquor). If it wasn't such a rainy day, it would have been a hit! We called it the "going back to the college days" party, since in college those people would have keggers to pay for their electricity or something of the sort, but this is for a good cause! :)
