A whole lot more than you think...
• Training plan to get in the best shape of your life!
• Meticulous planning of "the outfit" for the big day
• Fresh grooming to look good & feel fresh... Haircut, manicure, pedicure... check!
• Planning out every detail of the day... and providing family with an itinerary. OCD?!
• Everyone asking you if you're nervous or excited... which of course, I am both!
... and in the end, you never know just how it's going to play out!
2. I got in!! The Radisson is the host hotel for the Quad Cities Marathon this weekend, located right by the start/finish line. It's been booked up since I registered back in May. There's not any other hotels in walking distance, so we were stuck across the state line in Iowa. I've been calling every day/night this week, trying to snag a cancellation at just the right time. This morning, luck was on my side!! Woo-Hoo! We got a room in the Radisson, which is also hosting the expo. Sweet!!
3. Determined for DetermiNation. I hate cancer... who doesn't, right?! I'm excited to announce that I just joined the DetermiNation team for the Indianapolis Monumental Half-Marathon on November 5 to help fight with the American Cancer Society.
So.... please consider ordering one of my "will run for cupcakes" technical shirts. They are super cute, great quality and a terrific deal (only $15 + $5 shipping). Proceeds from each shirt sale will be donated to the American Cancer Society-DetermiNation team. Click HERE for detailed shirt information or just email me at runwithjess@comcast.net to place your shirt order.
Or you can donate directly to my DetermiNation team HERE. Thank you for your support!! I've got 6 weeks to raise $550 for the fight against cancer.
Thank you! I didn't even know before ordering that shirt that the proceeds were going anywhere. My dad was diagnosed with cancer last year. This means a lot!!! :)
