I am currently in Pittsburgh Airport patiently waiting for my plane to take me back to Boston. I want to take a moment to reflect on the past few days. At my recent Team Go Far meeting, I found out I am in 2nd place for getting most donors, which means, I have been spreading the word to as many people as possible. In part to receiving so many donations, I give a BIG SHOUT OUT TO JOE JOHNSON for being my Rush Chair in muscling support out of our friends :-) I appreciate all the help I can get. I want to say THANK YOU to Jen Hiller! The Hills donation pushed me closer to my fundraising goal :-) Thank You John and Ann Miller for your wonderful contribution sent to The Bottom Line!!
This has been a great week receiving all the help. You all have no idea how much this means to me, esp. since I am about 5 weeks away from reaching the finish line of the Boston Marathon, being plagued with all sorts of injuries. I rest, yet restless because my mind really wants to get a great workout, but my legs refuse to move faster than a slow walk. Sigh. At times I can feel my muscles pulsate in pain, that I actually look forward to icing my lower half of my body in my bath tub when I get home. Hope is what I have now, hope to finish well, and hope to raise a lot of money.
On another note, my new personal goal is to get as many donors as possible to edge out the competition (Sara Cooney :-P). The prize to get the most donors is to have my friends/family meet me at the best spot on the Boston Marathon finish line. These are coveted spots that I really want to earn. I am hoping to get my Dad to come up from Texas and be a part of the journey. We'll see...
I am boarding in a moment, thanks for following along.

I'm running the 114th Boston Marathon to help others reach their personal finish lines-get into college, graduate and to GO FAR in life! Be a part of the journey!
