$2,803! We did it!

25 days until race day.

Here is a quote I found on a carepage site today: "HOPE sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible".

I like that quote as I can relate to this as I prepare for the 20 miler on Saturday and then the 26.2 miles on June 1st! I have HOPE that I will finish the marathon as a lot can happen in 20/26.2 miles and I know God will see me through this achievement with my faith! Individually I have stepped out of my comfort zone and I have been blessed with making my fundraising minimum just in time for my final funds deadline! I have also been able to bless other teammates with the more funds that keep coming in to me... so far it is $65 and I am hoping for more to come so I can help other teammates reach their minimum as I have done! What we are doing to help others is INTANGIBLE, thank you for being part of the OC COAST TEAM!

Today is a fundraiser at Ruby's in Costa Mesa and both Paul and I will be supporting Sandra on our team. Jeremy is also supporting her by placing an order through me, I am getting a To-Go dinner for him! If Gwynne runs with us today then maybe she will join in on the fun too! We should have plenty of room for burgers since we are running 8 miles today!

I ran 6 miles on both Monday and Tuesday, I have kept a really good pace too! Monday was about a 10 min. per mile and yesterday was 9:51 min. per mile! Today's 8 miler will make 20 miles for midweek training and then I am resting for 2 days with a little tap dancing on Thursday... the resting should help with my 20-miler on Saturday! Butterflies are starting to set in already, LOL!

Thank you for all your support and prayers... it means a lot to me!
