Thanks to some amazing friends and family, I've raised over $1000 for the Special Olympics of Connecticut! I am truly just blown away by my friends' support and generosity in achieving this goal. I've never raised money for a charity like this, and would you believe, I set my first goal at $100! I kept increasing it as I saw just how generous people were, and how excited they were to help such an amazing cause.
With just two days left till the half marathon, I'm focused a lot on hydrating, which has always been an area of my life I'm lacking. I hate to say it, but my diet certainly could be better right now (having a lot of sweet tooth cravings!), but my hydration is something that I know I need to work on, especially for this race. I tried following Ericka Anderson's guide on "The Sweet Life with Ericka" of what to eat the week of a marathon (nevermind that I'm only doing the half!), but found it a little too hard with some leftover pizza lying around.
Tonight, Matt and I are off to the runner's expo to pick up our registration packets, and hopefully find some good freebies!
