The Race may be Over but I'm still Fundraising Until Dec. 15

Just a quick alert to let you know that although I finished the long and grueling ING NYC Marathon just nine days ago, my fundraising page doesn't come down until mid December. I have surpassed my original goal of $3,500 and hope you will help me beat my new $4,500 goal.

Just a few dollars can make a big difference. In fact, $25 buys five blankets to be used at a Red Cross shelter. If you can give, please click here to donate to Red Cross disaster relief.

2010 ING NYC Marathon - 4:33 finish time!!

All in all a success. I finished the race and raised $3,600 for Red Cross.

The cool part is that I beat my 2009 finish time by 20 minutes! Thanks for all the support along the way.

ING NYC Marathon starts in 4 days and 18 hours!!

It’s the final week. ING NYC Marathon starts in 4 days, 18 hours! I’m super excited, but I do have a few complaints just for fun:

• I’m tired of rubbing Body Glide all over, and especially those two obvious Body Glide stains on my shirts (you know where they are).
• I am tired of saying, “Sorry can’t meet you at the bar, got to run.”
• I’m tired of wondering if every new and strange leg pain I feel is real or something just in my head.
• I’m tired of wondering if my new sneakers are broken in yet.
• I’m tired of wondering if I drank enough water today.
• I’m tired of power bars and drink mixes.
• I’m tired of my pinky toe, I keep smashing it by accident, it hurts and not sure what it does anyway.
• Where’d that blister come from?
• I’m super annoyed and tired of runner's trots (diarrhea). Seriously.
• Excessive sweating, really. I’m that guy on the treadmill next to you making you sick. I’m tired of it.
• And…speaking of the gym, I’m tired of their 30 minute rule.
• I have a cold, is it going to screw up my run?
• I’m tired of washing my running gear in the shower every night!
• Does anyone else ever accidentally kick themselves in the ankle when they are running? What the heck is that?
• I’m tired of waiting to drink my latest batch of home brewed beer! (It’s an IPA by the way.)

Last one: I'm not tired of this though. If you can give $5 or $100, please click here. I am running to raise money for Red Cross disaster relief. Thanks!
