Wow, what a week! I am high as a kite and as exhausted as a runner that just finished the Boston Marathon twice!
My Southborough Owen O'Leary's fundraiser on Wednesday, March 4th - Parade Day was a wicked awesome success!!! (the wicked phrase is a shout out for the enjoyment of Aunt Sue, Cousin Craig and Michelle) We raised $1200!! I feel so blessed to know such amazing people that are so supportive! Thank you to my wonderful work friends that extended their day to join me, thank you to the Greater Framingham Club Members that ran 10 miles and still came out for my event, Thank you to all my UMass friends for driving from far and wide to attend, and thank you to my Mom, Dad, Molly, Josh, Laura, and little Elizabeth for all the support. Elizabeth said she enjoyed her first visit to a bar. It was a big night all around.
********* We've raised over $5000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!********
I can't describe how excited I am to have raised $5000 already. Everyone around my office has been so supportive and excited for me. It's been the talk of the office all week and today was a big day as I could joyfully answer the question of "How did last night turn out?" with, "I've made it! We've reached the goal!" Since it was the subject of all discussion, the few times that I had a moment to myself to think, it was almost overwhelming to reflect on all that's happened. All the support has been fantastic. Thank You Friends!
As I mentioned, I am exhausted so I promise to update on my week tomorrow. I'm happily going to bed.

I'm so excited that you've made it past $5,000! You are doing such an amazing job with the challenge of raising the most money you've ever had to raise in your life and training for the longest run thus far in your life. I'm so proud of you! It was great to see you yesterday, even though the visit was rather brief. I miss the days when we were bunk-mates.
