Aaahh! Only 2 more days and I am kinda freaking out. People keep asking me if I'm excited. Umm would YOU be excited if you knew you were going to be in extreme pain!? I am nervous and anxious, but i don't think excited is the right word. However, I will be excited when I am done with the marathon! I am loading up on lots of food, especially carbs! (That part is fun!)
Also, I am proud to say I have now raised almost $1300! I'm making my final push for donations! If you have been waiting to donate...now's the time! My deadline is tomorrow! It's super easy, just go to http://www.active.com/donate/lv09florida/RachelKramer and use a credit card to donate.
Thanks! Happy Friday :)

Marathon Countdown: 3 days!
So, yesterday it was a mad rush to run 2 miles before I had to run out the door to meet my parents for dinner at 7:30, and I got home from work at 6!
It's funny, because a year ago, I would have just skipped my run. Now, no matter what I have on my plate, I somehow manage to get 5 days of running or cross training in each week. Of the 26 weeks I've been training, I think maybe only 3 of those weeks did I work out 4 days, rather than 5. And that was either due to my plantar fasciitis or the damn air conditioning guy working on our air for about 2 weeks.
It's truly amazing what you can do when you have a clear goal in mind. I can't wait to finish my marathon in a couple days and be able to say I successfuly completed my goal.
On another note, thank you so much for everyone whol has helped me raise over $1,000 for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. Saturday is the last day to donate and I'm hoping to raise even more by then!

Only one week to go!
OK, so I ran 6 miles (which seemed like nothing) with my dad on Saturday. I know I am ready for the marathon this Sunday. The only question on my mind is "How much pain will I be in when I finish the race?"
I am hoping that I don't throw up when it's done, as I have heard so many people do. As long as I finish and am still standing, I will be happy :)
Thank you so much to all my friends and family that have dontated to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. It means so much to me!
If you're interested, the finish line of the race is at the intersection of Biscayne Blvd & E. Flagler Street. I am hoping to cross the finish line around 11:15 am. I won't even mention the start line because I know none of you will be getting there at 6:15 am. You are all welcome to come on out to see my a tired, sweaty Rachel cross the finish line.
