Thanks for the bump! And sorry I didn't get some better info to you for the newsletter. I realized most pictures of me with the car are at home and I have been up at school and then got hurt and feared the marathon was in jeopardy.

I was injured in late Febuary and thought it may have been a stress fracture in my left leg. Just brutal to run...BUT I have pushed through it and go in a couple 20+ mile runs. My left leg will swell up about twice my right in the early miles in intense pain, but subsides after about 3-4 miles and I can get back on track. My front shin musles are overstrained and essential just put the weight onto my calves instead and then I can run fine, but calves get sore later. However, I Should be good to go in a couple weeks! I am going to get a 15 miler in this week and then tapper off before the actual race.


I AM STILL SHORT OF MY MINIMUM FUNDRAISING!! It is a lot harder then it seems haha! With the addition of off-line donations I am about $1000 short of the minimum and need to make $3000!

I am a college kid haha! I really don't enjoy the thought of having to pay over $1000 myself for this! Help would be great!


Just to get an idea what I have done in costs and in training so you don't think I am just asking everyone for money and not contributing myself.

3 pairs of running shoes: $420 (They can only take so much mileage)
Enterance Fee to Boston Marathon: $200
Charity Fee: $100
Physical Therapy for March: $260
Running Clothes: $200 (Under Armour is not cheap!)

All to just run hahaha!

So PLEASEEE HELP out a fellow car guy and runner!
