Yahoooo!

Just wanted to post that I did my longest run (and some walking) yet yesterday morning - 11 miles! I ran a nice route through Quincy and Braintree, and the weather was perfect - high 60s, sunny, cool breeze.

Check out this scenery!

This is a picture from the marathon course - 17 miles of the course is oceanfront!

Running Song of the Day

I just found out there was an Olympic version of Unstoppable by Rascal Flatts - love it! Check it out below....

Ideas?

I'm gearing up to spend some time this weekend planning out my summer fundraiser(s). Start getting excited! There will be some awesome raffle items.....details to be announced soon!

If anyone has any great ideas for a free fundraiser location or would like to offer up your restaurant/bar for a night, feel free to email them along to me - chrissycarroll@gmail.com.

Also, thank you to Matt Munise for your recent donation to my fundraising page!

Remember, anyone can donate to my fundraising webpage anytime at http://ttes.maui2010.kintera.org/chrissycarroll!

Running Song of the Day

Hooked on this one from Three 6 Mafia! For those of you killing time at work by reading my blog, this is the explicit song version.

Thank you!

A very sincere thank you to Jeanne Beres, Sharon Robinson-Byrd, Ms. Lisa & "the green room", and Kristen Farley for their recent donations to my marathon fundraising efforts! You guys are the best!!! I'm so touched by your generosity.

Fun news!

Hi all! Exciting news -I just got my coach's information and training schedule from Train to End Stroke! I'm pretty pumped.

On another note, one of my recent second grade classes decided instead of calling me "Ms. Chrissy", they'd call me "Coach Chrissy". I don't know why, but I LOVE it. It makes me feel very important and marathon-worthy.

And on a third note, as you can see below, apparently I take my running fashion advice from Olivia Newton John circa 1981.
