Thank you Rosie's!

I just wanted to thank Rosie's for holding the fundraiser and everyone who came out and bought some tasty treats! The event went well and they invited me back for another go in a couple weeks! I am also looking at Bruegger's Bagels. They have a program where they'll do 15% of the profits of people who come in with a flyer for my event. Which sounds pretty sweet. I'm also thinking about selling Lemon Thai pad thai plates for $5 each and just getting a huge plate of it from them for $90. I'm not really sure what kind of profits I'd actually get from that, but I would need to sell 33 plates in order to make a $50 profit to donate. So...I'm looking into that.

All in all, it was a great day ($50) and if I do it again, combined with some other events, I might just have a shot at it. I am pretty sure I'll make the March 15th deadline of $1625 (I'm sitting at $1450 now). Worse case scenario...I end up having to pay the difference myself...which is pretty bad, but not the worst thing in the world. It's for a good cause and getting to run the Boston Marathon is such a cool life goal of mine that it's worth it in the end! Right?? right. I'm not sure anyone even reads this haha. oh well.

I hit 17 miles on the treadmill last Saturday and am planning on just doing 12 this week to give my knees a little break. Then, the week after that it's 19. yikes!

wish me luck!
