hip hip hip hooray!

Why so many hips, you may ask?

Hip #1 - Today I received the "You Have a Donation" email FIVE TIMES!!! What an incredible feeling! Wow! And thank you to those people...and to all the people who have donated to this amazing cause so far!

Hip #2 - This weekend is my final long run before I start to taper in preparation for the quickly upcoming BIG DAY. I checked the weather mid-week/mid-heat wave and somehow, the temperature is decreasing for Saturday (it was only Saturday...I decided to move my run to Sunday and what do you know - now it's going to be mid-70's both of those days). You may call it random. They may call it Earl. I am going to just go with fabulous.

Hip #3 - My long run will put me just over the 2o0 MILE MARK!!! It's crazy. It's unreal. It's a glitch in the system. I don't get it, but wow!

Both my fundraising and running goals are now closer than ever. It's scary, but super exciting! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for continued good luck!

Happy Labor Day!
