Project WAR / Run4Jake campaign
Sunday, I ran 13.1 miles (21.1k) on not-so-amazing terrain. It was uneven and ENTIRELY gravel. My feet still hurt. My IT band rubbed on my bursa a lot and I can feel it inflamed a bit. Being smart about it, I decided to take Monday and today off, to relieve a bit of the inflammation and to prevent injury. Instead, I decided to book a massage today, which was amazing. (I fell asleep too - and woke myself up to the sound of me breathing loud. *embarrassing*)
Tomorrow, back to training - An easy 5-6 miles on my lunch break is in order. If I want to win a race, I need to work extra hard, right?
Last night, Kelly surprised me to a MASSIVE bunch of Apple Cinnamon cookies that she baked for my work to help my Team Diabetes fundraising campaign. They were amazingly tasty, and people at work ate them all! I had a donation box up for people that wanted to contribute and so far, we raised $47! WOOHOO!
I want to take this to the next level. I shall need the help of you, Tumblrs. I know a couple of fundraising masters are on here, mangosteele, 6n6challenge, robindoesrunning, runwithrach & runlong.
Mango did some photoshopping stuff, did the burrito mile along with a bunch of cool stuff. I'm good at photoshopping stuff and am willing to put myself through anything to help the cause. He raised an insane amount of money for St-Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Abel (6n6challenge) ran one marathon a month for 6 months for the leukemia and lymphoma society, and is an established BADASS.
Robin has an awesome accent that Tridad cannot comprehend, recently finished a HALF-IRONMAN, and a pure BADASS at heart. She organized a sweet raffle for donations.
Rachel & Dustin organized the Tumblr even of the year in Conway with the Soaring Wings Race. They are both incredibly involved in the running world and they are training for ultras.
It's time to kick this into high-gear. What do you all think? Ideas?
It could be a video of me doing something crazy, (other than setting myself on fire, been there - done that... not going to happen again.. got the gif to prove it.) an idea you think would help me raise money, anything... speak up!
