The excitement builds as we count down to the date of the marathon. We've been training hard, attending thrice-weekly workouts with the team at Central Park whenever possible. Other times we must fill in the gaps of our training schedule on our own, either on a treadmill or through the city streets. Despite the hard work and constant effort, it's hard to believe that the race is really less than three months away.
The marathon is less than three months away!?!
Yikes.
After hearing stories of people passing out at finish lines, pissing and soiling themselves, and having blisters and chaffing sores on every imaginable surface of their bodies, I have to wonder whether or not I'll actually make it. It makes me nervous, but excited nonetheless. Especially when I meet up with my other team members who have done it before, and are living proof that you can run 26.2 miles without keeling over and dying.
So the excitement builds, and the pressure heightens, and the need for reassurance exponentially increases.
Our first fundraising deadline is fast approaching in 10 days. We are looking to have a collaborative $5,000 in donations by August 15th, and are working nearly around the clock to meet our deadline. If you've considered donating before, and have been waiting for the right moment to inspire you, now's the time!
And if you know anyone with lots of expendable cash that they don't know what to do with, send them our link!
