14% left to raise and 3 days to go!

The COUNT-DOWN is ON!! 

Less than 4 days until the big race!  Jill and I plan on taking a brisk walk tomorrow afternoon around the neighbourhood with the babies and then one last training run Friday morning - early! I'm feeling pretty good. Had my knee checked out tonight - Thanks Dr. Ellefsen!  He said it was sore from over-working it - so Saturday I'll be taking it easy to make sure I'm good for the race - no stairs or running for me!

Reflecting on this whole experience, I'm surprised at how my whole attitude about running AND fund-raising has changed... matured even. The two best things I've gained from this process are:

1. Steps towards overcoming my axiety of asking people to help support something I believe in. Thanks to all who have contributed, you have given the YMCA Strong Kids program a great boost and the kids will be the benefactors of all your support. If you haven't contributed yet, PLEASE help me reach my goal (only 14% to go!) and DONATE NOW. Remember, every $10 brings me 1% closer.

2. Enjoying, and actually looking forward to/finding ways to go running!  I never would have thought I would be willing to get up at 7:00am (believe me - this is a HUGE deal!) to go running like I will this Friday with Jill.  Of course my hubby is skeptical that I will get up, but in my mind, there is no question.  I guess Friday at 7am when my alarm goes off will be the true test!  

Do you think I'll pass the test and get up when my alarm sounds on Friday morning?  Leave a comment below!
