Just typing the number of days until the Boston Marathon created some anxiety for me. Excitement? Sure. But also a little anxiety.
Training update: I hit a really great stride and routine in January and February, and then took a short hiatus to head to Italy for February break with Nya and some friends. Admittedly, I did not get a lot of running in, but we walked a LOT and I’m so glad I took the time to travel. I will say that I think the time off was good for me mentally. Running a marathon is just as much a mental game as it is a physical one, so I’ll take it as win.
Fundraising update: I can’t thank my friends and family enough for their generous donations. Thanks to all of you, I am at 65% of my goal for fundraising!! My teammate Vicky and I are hosting TWO more FUNdraiser events – check them out below!
