Running Introduction

On April 16, 2012, I will be running the Boston Marathon on behalf of Massachusetts General Hospital. I am an avid runner and it has always been my dream to run Boston. However, as I think of the reasons why I am running this particular race, another story comes to mind. For 26.2 miles I will run for an organization who has saved the person that I love most in the world, my mother. Jan Mertz is my role model and best friend, and on April 16th, she will be my inspiration (follow the SPONSOR ME link to read the full story). My fund raising goal of $5,000.00 is not nearly enough to thank such an amazing hospital, but it is a start. Thank you in advance for your support and for reading my blog!!

Follow my blog for updates on my training schedule, energy-rich snacks and meals, but most of all, how to prepare mentally and physically for 26.2 miles!

It's my BIRTHDAY and I want....$4,000.00!!!!

Hello friends and family and Happy January 30th! In addition to being THE GREATEST DAY EVER (because I was born), today is also a historically monumental day for the reasons below....

In 1487: Bell chimes were invented

In 1790: The 1st lifeboat was tested at sea, by its inventor, Mr. Greathead

In 1917: The 1st jazz record was recorded (Dark Town Strutters Ball)

In 1958: The 1st 2-way moving sidewalk became in service, Dallas TX

In 1973: KISS played their 1st show (Coventry Club in Queens New York)

In 2007: Microsoft releases Windows Vista

But in all seriousness, thank you for the well wishes for my 24th year. However, I may ask one favor since it is my "special" day. I have currently raised $3,750.00 towards my marathon, which is SO AMAZING! But, how AWESOME would it be to hit the $4,000.00 mark on my birthday?!! Think, that is just $250.00, which is....

$50 by 5 friends

$25 from 10 friends

$10 from 25 friends!!!

So think about it, and Happy Birthday to ME!

Peace, Love and RUNNING!
