1/3 of the way there

Both in terms of fundraising and in terms of mileage. I am running 9 miles this weekend in DC and I've raised $1100 dollars toward the $3000 I need to give MGH.

It's actually pretty exciting since it's still January. I even hit up vendors today and one has already donated. 

I am looking forward to the long run—both because I'll get to see more of DC, but also because it's been a while. I did my last 10 miler in the beginning of December and there's a certain peacefulness about it. The shorter runs are all business these days.

Ran into someone I hadn't seen since I moved from Boston in 2001 and needless to say, he was surprised at how I look now. Last time I saw him, I was 50 pounds heavier and had a year old baby!! Crazy.
