Finally, it is getting warmer outside and I’ll no longer have to run on a treadmill for my marathon training. I hate running in a stinky gym next to a bunch of huff’n and puffers. Totally throws my concentration off. More importantly, I’m very close to reaching my fundraising goal on Crowdrise.
I’m out to raise 1500 dollars for the American Cancer Society. So while I’m packing on the miles, I’ve also been packing on the donations through my online fundraising pages. Really, raising funds online has been really easy and allowed me to focus more on training, instead of asking everyone for donations in person or sending out a bunch of individual emails. Instead I could just make a couple of posts with a link to my team member page. All they have to do is click on it and donate to charity. While I’m counting miles, the charity counts my donations and accredits it to my marathon effort.
I’m almost done typing. I just wanted to say that I also enjoy being apart of the online community there. This allows me to interact with my team members and we can compare training programs and techniques, what foods keep the energy up, and we can donate to each other’s pages to help ‘em with their fundraising effort.
Really, I’m done now. Time to eat a granola bar and run a few miles.
