I did it! I did it! I did it!!!!!! Now the real fun begins:-)))))

Guess what? I not only exceeded my fundraising goal, I beat it with 6 days to spare:-) I know I annoyed a lot of people stressing whether I'd make it or not. Sorry for that, it's just it meant so much and I'm not the kind to back out. Even as stressed as I get, I know I'm good at getting what I go for. Thanks to everyone who donated, whether it was a dollar or $250! It's so awesome knowing that my nearly $3,000 donation will help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in a huge way! According to my captains, it sinks in on race day.  

Yes, I've run San Diego a couple of times now, but always went solo and just kinda ran the race and went home. This year, I'll be with my amazing teammates experiencing the race weekend in an entirely new way. The other exciting aspect of it is Carlos is coming with:-) He has been a big supporter in everything I do and this TNT season was no exception! So sweet how his entire family donated, from his parents to his sister to his aunt:-) my moms donation put me well over goal! She's always been supportive:-)

The real fun begins now! We get to go to the Mayo Clinic to meet the researcher who actually does the research we raise funds for. So cool! Also the travel plans for San Diego are all booked and we get to focus on having fun! 

The longest run of the season was so brutal!! It was really hot and we ran Granada. It seemed like everyone had a rough run. That said. I'm still on track to set a PR on race day! Two long runs away from race day; one more 2 hour and drops to 90 minutes the following week. Getting close!

Can't wait to blog to you all about race day. See ya! :-)
