First off, thank you so much to everybody who came out to our annual fundraiser :) We were able to make close to $1000!!!! Keep on eye for details for next year, we hope to make the event even BIGGER :)
It's already September 5, 2010! My 1/2 Ironman has come and gone. I didn't finish in the way I hoped, but had an AMAZING experience. I also had a LOT of time to be at one with my thoughts :) and truly had time to think and reflect on the past couple of years. (besides the focus I was trying to maintain on my race and my body, your mind starts to wander..) I feel very lucky to have such amazing and positive people in my life :)
This weekend I'll be heading up to Madison to cheer on Kristin and Heath for Ironman 2010!!! I'll be volunteering on Observatory Drive near the boathouse (one of my all time favorite spots on campus) from 11-3. Fingers crossed for nice weather for the athletes!! I then plan on signing up for Ironman Wisconsin 2011!!! I hope I get an entry :/ This will be a year to see how far I can really push myself. Working at KIPP is no easy schedule, so I will need to figure out how to organize and prioritize to fit in training for an Ironman. Max Multisport, you'll see me in the water again after the marathon :) I have work to do.
I will be posting a marathon blog soon, with updates for spectators on how to cheer. This year I'm looking for friends who might be willing to jump in at various points to keep me company along the way. While my 5-10 mile tempo runs have been faster than ever, my long runs have been SLOW making me nervous for how this marathon is going to turn out :/
As always, thanks everybody for your support. Together we can say screw you cancer! We are STRONGER than you.
