Dear Runner Lovers, 

Tonight, I just went on an hour run along the lake, and it felt wonderful.  I feel so excited for my race on Sunday.  The weather is supposed to be perfect this weekend!  My family is driving all the way from New York to come see me in Portland running the Maine Marathon.  I cannot wait for this weekend!! 

It is so important to run for something bigger than yourself. I absolutely love to run for Saint Jude in my marathons.  The money raised for St. Jude helps to ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Here is the link to my fundraiser page:

I live with the nicest girls ever, they just surprised me with all of these sweet and encouraging messages.  I feel so blessed!!
