This year on June 27th, I will be celebrating my 30th birthday!!! Yeah for me!!
It just so happens that is the exact day for the Rock & Roll Seattle Marathon. After much deliberation, I have made the decision to participate. I felt that it was just too big of an omen to have a marathon on my 30th birthday. I have been working out for the last 6 months and have started training for this run. I only plan on doing the 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) but I am really excited about it. But...
The kicker is...the $100 entry fee is a little overwhelming for me. (My teeth just won't let me have a break, 2 new crowns just this past week.) Yes, I am sure I could find the money somehow but I think it would be great to have the support of my family and friends to cheer me on.
So, I was thinking...most professional runners have sponsors and though I am no professional, I think it is just what I need.
I am humbly asking you, my friends, family and billionaires to be my sponsors. I have installed a donation button on my sidebar for your convenience. If you would be willing to donate...even a tiny bit to my cause...$1, $5 or a $1,000,000...hey, I won't judge, I would really appreciate anything. (I'll even write your name on my shirt as an official sponsor.)
I am also including a picture of a meter to track how close I am to my $100 goal. After that, I will close the donation button. I will also keep you updated along the way as I train....I just did 7 miles last week!
To accomplish a 1/2 marathon by the time I am 30 is quite a life accomplishment for me.
Wish me luck!!

That's pretty cool! Way to go!
Yeah! I am so excited for you! Sally and I are running it as well. We still haven't figured out how we are going to pay for it either. My dad was a track and cross country coach for years and he wrote Sally and I a training schedule. If you are interested, I will email it to you. Good luck!
Jake and I are running the half too. Since you are so kind to share your coupons... I will definitely scrounge up some change, or bills to support your cause :)
Too bad you hadn't decided before the early bird date was over ;)
You have my support. Wish I could be there to run it with you... wish I was in that good of shape to run it with you. :) Maybe next year, huh?
Congratulations on the weight loss, you look fabulous.
Good for you!! This is my big 3-0 year, too, but I don't think I'll be running anywhere. :)
