I am so excited yet so terrified at the same time. I have been focusing my efforts on my fundraising which is falling quite a bit short right now, but Jo and I have a fundraiser coming up in 2 weeks. I REALLY hope people show up and we can raise some decent funds that way. I really can't afford to pay the $2,500 that I have left to raise. Well I can if I have to, but with all of the house renovations, it would REALLY help out if I could raise it. Working hard! The running has been getting REALLY hard. Having to do long runs of 19 miles (on a beautiful day) then 14 miles in the FREEZING cold then 20 miles on my treadmill due to horrible weather... it's been rough. Next week is 22. It's all in my mind, I know, but until I get over half way there all I can think about is how far I have to go. Doing it alone and cold with mind games is nuts, but I'm sure it will all be worth it when April 15th comes. I'm going to buy so much Boston Marathon swag that I'm not going to know what to do with myself. Happy birthday present to me!

Back to blogging and still running
It's been quite a while since I posted a blog. I figure since I gave up facebook for the majority of lent, I could try and post on my blog. Last year I gave up facebook completely, but this year I am allowign myself to check in on FB an hour before school starts and an hour after school starts. The main reason to stay away is that I am constantly checking it on my phone.... and I mean constnatly. It's at the touch of a button and so I even sit on the couch and will pop on it between commercials. No good. I have already gotten tons of stuff done today that I normally don't get a chance to do on a Saturday morning.
I also gave up cookies, chips, crackers and alcohol for lent. Major calorie busters for me. I had been doing so well when I was involved in a weight loss competition. I got down PAST my wedding weight and was feeling amazing, but have since put back 8 lbs. Boo. Most of my snacking comes from cookies, chips or crackers (along with beer and wine) so I thought this could help. So far so good.
2 months from yesterday!!!
