There’s been a lot going on these past few weeks – some running, some busy business, some more (but never enough) running, some serious event planning – but let’s get back on track, shall we?
The end is near! I’ll confess that it will be a relief to cross the finish line this year, not just because I’ll be very glad to have erased my DNF status from September, and will be very ready to stop running, but also because I could use a few deep breaths that don’t involve running or fundraising. But! The exciting parts are still to come!
This weekend, I’ll run 21 miles – the longest run of training – from Hopkinton to Boston College on the course. From that point on, the taper reigns.
Next Wednesday, I finally get to host my benefit event at Forum – if you’re in Boston (or surrounds) I hope you’ll join me! Forum has generously donated appetizers for all, and given us free reign over the first floor bar. Donors are stepping up with raffle prizes – Sam Adams, Zoora, RoadID, Brooks, Uber, Lia Sophia, Whitecap Creations, the Clymb and more will be represented – and other fun is in the works. RSVP on Facebook to receive updates, spread the word and invite friends. The more the merrier!
The marathon is only 26 days away – and, as Sherée pointed out, it will be my first 26.2 in my 26th year. If you’ve been meaning to donate but haven’t yet, maybe today’s the day?
This week, I’m offering up one Women’s Mesh PR Skort from Brooks - black, in size small or large. To enter, donate and leave a comment here before Monday, March 26 at 11:59pm.
Bonne chance!
count me in for 3 for this week’s raffle!
