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!

2012 Boston Marathon Colors: CORE ENERGY/BLACK!!!


There is really not much more I need to post in this blog other than the below picture! Needless to say, once I put this jacket on, I will NEVER be taking it off!! Bad-ASS does not begin to describe the infamous Boston Marathon apparel, and I am absolutely THRILLED that this year's colors are CORE ENERGY and BLACK.

You can check out the other apparel on the Marathon Sports website below. I have already started saving, since I anticipate that I will be walking away with almost every one of these items. If you're going to run 26.2 miles, you might as well look good :)

Running Update: Ran 17 Miles last weekend @ 8:50 min/mile....18 this weekend!!

Fundraising Update: I have reached 88% of my fundraising goal and am currently at $4,405.00!!!!! I have also received over 30 donation items including gift from the Liberty Hotel, Boston Red Sox, Upper Crust Pizza, and Marathon Sports!!! Remember to keep Friday, March 30th open on your calendar for your chance to WIN!

Peace, Love and RUNNING!!!!
