I have reached my fundraising goal for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.I could not have done this without your help and I give a sincere and wholehearted thank you!!
With only days left till my marathon I can only let you know that it has been quite the journey. Training in the cold weather and in the gym has prepared me for what I'm about to accomplish. Leaning on my friends and family, and the support of my Virtual Team in Training teammates has also helped immensely. Conference calls for nutrition, stretching techniques, marathon visualization techniques, inspirational movies (Rudy, Rocky, Miracle, etc) and lots of self discipline has physically and emotionally prepared me for Sunday.
26.2 miles ain't got nothin' on me ;)
The weather in New Orleans will be in the mid- 60s and Sunny, since the last time I checked. There is a chance of rain on Friday but hopefully that will take care of any humidity. The course is flat (woo!) with elevation peaking at a whopping 35 feet!! I've got my sneakers, TNT pinny, Nathan pouch, my power bars and sports beans all packed. My flight is tomorrow evening, pending weather! Fingers crossed.
Saturday night we have a Team in Training inspiration dinner where I will get to meet my teammates as well as survivors who will share their story of how The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has touched there lives.I will keep you posted after my race with my results. My goal is to finish running and to HAVE FUN. I can now go into my race with a HUGE feeling of accomplishment because of the support you have provided me with throughout my fundraising efforts.
Thank you and Happy Running!!!!
