Sorry I've been MIA - lots of news!

An official apology for being so MIA lately - it has been a crazy few weeks! We have been starting a new farmers market project at work this year which is also serving as my practicum for grad school, so I've been a lot busier this summer. Plus, I'm getting ready to move on Sunday - lots to do!
Fundraising news...
Some great news - I'm officially at 30% of my fundraising goal for my marathon! But, this still means I have 70% of my goal to meet in less than 2 months. Please consider making a donation at http://ttes.maui2010.kintera.org/chrissycarroll or attending my fundraiser on August 20th, 2010 to help me raise the remaining $3,425.
Special thanks to Uncle John and Aunt Mug, Ms. Libsch, Donna Harman, Mary Lou Rocher, and Brian LaSusa for their recent donations to my marathon fundraising page!!
And more thank yous to BU Fit Rec, the Boston Red Sox, Spirit Airlines, and TGI Fridays for their donations to the fundraiser raffle/silent auction.

Training news...
Training is going well. I've had some frustrating days since the half marathon, but had a really good 12 mile run last weekend throughout Boston. Ran from downtown all the way out to the reservoir and back!
Other updates...
Unfortunately, a lot of other people who were originally supposed to be on the Maui team have dropped out. This leaves just me and Justine as the sole reps for Train to End Stroke at the Maui marathon! We unfortunately won't have the support our coach or volunteers on the day of (they can't fly everyone down there just for 2 people - understandable) - but we still will receive all their support up until that day!
More pics from the half!
