Less than 3 weeks now, until the Flying Pig Marathon. I am about as ready as I am going to get. Into the tapering down phase of training. Other than a couple of mildly disappointing 20+ mile runs, it has gone really well and I am excited to get going.I would still love your help with 2 things:
1) Please, please, please send suggestions for songs for my playlist. I can't overemphasize how helpful this is. One song that will most definitely be included is the ring tone of 'We Believe You Can Fly!' Emily & Jazzy recorded for me last year in Pittsburgh. No more beautiful music has ever been heard. I plan to put this one in around the 23 mile marker, to be reminded of and encouraged by 2 of my favorite people.
I'd like to think of you as well! Add your suggestion below in a comment, put it on my FB wall, or message me if you prefer. Just send it, please.
2) Remember, why I am running - in order to raise awareness and funds for the work of the Not For Sale Campaign. If you, like me, find it ridiculous that there are more slaves in the world today than ever before, join me and the Not For Sale Folks in doing something about it.
Why not visit the donation page and, either join me in giving monthly support or a one time donation? If donating once, I suggest basing your gift on my time - an amount per minute I take off last year's marathon time of 3:59:38.
While on their site, take some time to read stories like this one about San Francisco Giants pitcher Jeremy Affeldt and other MLB players joining the movement to (re)abolish slavery in our lifetime.
Thanks so much! I look forward to running 'with' you!
