Well the big fall cleaning garage sale fundraiser has come and gone! Thank you for all that donated items towards our worthy cause! We raised over $300 which turned out to be very good since we didn't price any items. My mother and father were the biggest help of all! Could not have done it without them! And a big thank you goes out to my grandma who graciously let out her garage for this sale!! This Saturday my team and I are doing another road block in New Albany and we hear it’s going to be nice weather, so once again, if you see us out there on the streets, please spare some change!!

It's official! Monday is the day we pick up our race day shirts! Next stop...Arizona! I'm super excited!!!

My feet are fully healed so now my training is in full gear again! I took a week off to let me blisters heal, which was the doctors and parents choice...not mine. I would have still run on them...so it's probably a good thing I went to the doctors. Anyways, I need to find a day this week to run 10 miles. Monday I ran 6 miles, and Wednesday a 5K PR: 25:30.

So I can confidently say, with the running/training/support/and fundraising...I will make it to the finish line and there will be a cure! Thanks for everything to everyone that has helped me with my goals! I need all the support and encouragement! Love you all!

Run on friends,

Emily

6 more weeks till the Columbus Marathon and I'm definitely getting hot feet! Literally, I'm in need of new running shoes, I'm already 400 miles in, and there's only so much glide sticks and ibuprofen can do! So I can fully say right now training isn't going as planned. I should be at my long runs of uhm..17 miles! ya, I'm at 11..tomorrow I hope to change that however I'm still sore from the other day of running and bodypump. Bodypump really can kick your butt! If anyone is a  memeber at Lifestyles, I highly recommend taking up a bodypump class! Anyways, over all I'm still running and raising money! I'll be doing a roadblock this Saturday from 10-4pm, so if you see a group of girls at intersections with buckets, please spare some change!

Wish me luck on my next run..13miles!

Happy trails everyone! =)
