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

Finally! New shoes from Road Runner! Custom fit and everything =) I found out that I over pronate on my left foot when I run, I have normal to high arches, and that my arch size is 6.5! No wonder I get painful blisters on my arches with size 8.5 shoes! It was pretty sweet actually, they set you up on a treadmill and its all computerized to figure out your foot type, pronation, etc. Highly recommend for all of those people who need new shoes for the marathon coming up. Still plenty of time to wear them in for the big race day! Plus all TNT members are VIP members! So go now and get customed!

I bought some pretty sweet nike plus shoes there..and of course I bought the nike chip that goes with it...plus the wrist band..=) but now I will always know my mileage and time. So today, with my handy wrist band and chip, I found out my magic mile which is 6:50! Before my new shoes my fastest mile was 7:25. Looking pretty..pretty..pretty good =)

Anywhoo...I counted the dollars with Amberly Sunday from our road block, and the team and I raised $735 in dollars...we haven't counted the change part yet, but I'm guessing well over $900 total!! Thank you for all that donated and for everyone who helped with the road block! Everyone was awesome!

BEER PONG TOURNY SATURDAY @ LODGE BAR!

Go TeamS!
