20 days...

20 days left and still training and fundraising.

Last Saturday after running 10 miles for the second time in our life...yes, 10 miles, Betsy and I hosted a fundraising dinner. It was such a good time! I made lasagna for the first time, chocolate cupcakes for the first time and Betsy made a delicious pasta dish with a super tasty sauce...it was a nice mix of people, some TNT'ers from last year's Ride to Montauk, our friend and mentor Katie and good friends from a galaxy far far away called Pratt (you know who you are).

I am as of now past the 50% mark in my fundraising... I promise to run harder and faster! Will you help me help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society? Will some lasagna help you decide? Check out that picture...I know you want it :)

Will you help me get over the 50% hump? Running update 02-16-11

The date is getting closer...MARCH 20TH!!!

The fundraising party was a lot of fun, and we raised some good money! Thank you to all that made, all that came, all that donated, all that helped, all that played, all that drank...success! You can see some images of that evening...and early morning ;)

This week Betsy and I are attempting a 10 mile run (on Thursday)...you can check out our route here:

Will let you know how that goes in the next update.

Please remember that this is for a cause that is very important to me. If you have not had time yet, please take a second to visit my page, a cheer, a dollar, maybe two, maybe more helps:

Already brainstorming about our next fundraising event...are you in?

Thank you!

More training and other

An image of our group training session last weekend...field trip to the Manhattan bridge and back. We look happy, right? There was a lot of dirty slushy snow at pretty much every corner...more like an obstacle course but who is against a little cross-training?
Oh, and, that's Betsy on my right, can you tell? :)
