My 16-week training program flew by this year and I’m just 10 days away from heading to Vegas to run on December 2. While running the strip at night is an amazing experience; what is more amazing is the support I’ve received from so many of you. Your donations and encouragement have kept me going.
Did another short run through Saratoga Springs Resort today. Yesterday’s was much better; today the heat and a tinge of dehydration made it not great.
When I set out to raise $10,000 this year for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation through Team Challenge, I set mini goals. I’m happy to say that I met each of this goals so far, with the last being $7,500 by the main fundraising deadline. http://www.active.com/donate/seaLV12/kmacris
I’m $900 away from VIP right now for Team Challenge Las Vegas Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon!!!! Just $900. I’d love some help.
I’ve blathered on about my training and my fundraising, (updated 2013 link) but I feel like I haven’t really focused on why I am doing it again this year.
A few days ago, my mother wrote this on her page: “Donate Donate Donate. Help find a cure. I don’t like being a lab rat! (can’t wait to get off these meds) And come to Vegas if you can to cheer Kristie on!”
I am running my first of three 1/2 marathons this season on November 10, which is just a couple days before the fundraising deadline for Vegas on December 2.
