Forever thereafter:
1. celebrate & drink heavily. enjoy being "hot, marathon-runner girl."

10 miles (too tired for a witty title)

Just finished 10 miles, and it was wonderful. I ran by myself the entire way, which is a first! I think I got my foot issues figured out--the shoe inserts seem to be helping, but my arches are still a bit sore.

The weather has been so nice! It's great not to be bogged down by all the humidity. We started on the trail this morning, and the sun coming up over the river was just beautiful! A very nice way to start the day!

I still need help with fundraising. I'm tired of asking nicely, so--DONATE PLEASE!!!!!!!!! I'm doing all the work, all you gotta do is enter your credit card number, get out some cash or write a check. It's for a great cause, and I bet that if you had cancer you'd want people to donate to help you and to help find a cure, so do the same for them. Didn't someone teach us all about that in kindergarten?
