exactly 2 months from today...

at this time, exactly 2 months from today, i will have already finished running 26.2 miles. it's crazy to think that i will have accomplished something so far fetched, but i'm actually starting to get excited about the exhileration i'm going to feel. yes, training for the marathon has been tough and will only get harder in the next few weeks (running 12 miles this week, 16 miles next week, and 20 miles by the end of the month!!), but after hearing of our honored hero coming out of remission with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, running is a cake walk. our small group has already raised over $11,000 in the past 2 months, but we are still shy of our goal by $3,500. i'm hoping that in the next few weeks our fundraising efforts will prove to be more substantial. we have an awesome local pizza place that has offered to host a fundraising night and we all look forward to putting on an apron to help out.

not only are we having pizza night, but our final big event will be the Poker Tournament.

it really looks like we're going to have a ton of fun with this and i wish it were that easy for everyone to attend, but for those of you non-locals....you can always help by donating...
