As I’m writing this, I am exactly one week out from my first marathon, and mild panic may be setting in! (Tried to insert about 10 panic-faced emojis here, but they won’t show up on the blog.)
This is my last running update before the marathon, but instead of writing about my past week or so of training (or the cortisone shot and heavy anti-inflammatories that now make me feel like I’m a horse being injected and given bute just to get to the show ring…), I really, really want to just take a minute to say a huge THANK YOU to the donors who have helped me reach $1,500+ for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! It seriously means the world to me!
In particular, I have to give a shout out to Phelps Media Group and the fact that I have the best boss in the world!!
One of Phelps Media Group’s greatest assets is our awesome equestrian email distribution list/database…so how cool is it that this press release went out to tens of thousands of people!?
Click here to read the full release!! (It is also super weird having your own name in press release/not just being the one to write it…)
My boss, Mason Phelps, is also amazing and is personally donating $500/month now through my last event!! How great is he…seriously!? :
More big thank yous have to go to some of my other biggest supporters: Michelle and Rick Kirby and Bob Kelly (who not only donated to LLS but has been super supportive and the donor of my foam roller, Mophie, etc. 😉 ) Thank yous also to Chip and Katie Errigo, James Parker, Don Graf, Nicole Wells, Elizabeth Williams, Anne Whiteley, Erin Donlon, Jeannine MacIntyre and my mom. 🙂
Lord willing, I’ll be updating next Monday with my full race-recap! In the meantime, donations and contributions to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society can still be given through my Team In Training page here!
