3 Things Thursday

1.  What do a Marathon and a Wedding have in common??  
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.
