Training is going alright. I'm still behind quite a bit, and will remain as such until Marathon Monday. It can't be helped at this point. But my legs are strong, and my lung capacity is good. As long as I put in good work for the next six weeks, I think I'll be fine, though of course not as good as I'd like to be.
I think, and I suppose hope, that the emotions of the day will make the first hour easy, and that the support of my friends and family will help make the last hour easier. I feel like, in a way, I only need to mentally prepare myself for the middle 15 of the race. If I can will my way through that, I will be okay.
Fundraising, on the other hand, is going pretty well. We have raised over twelve hundred dollars so far, with a lot more coming this month. I think we should hit $3500-4000 by April 1st. Hopefully after that we can approach the goal of $7500.
If not, there's always next year! (?)

Remember to practice being your own biggest cheerleader. What you're doing is admirable, so just think about good memories of the people you love when you need a lift. Even try to work in a few smiles along the way. Way to go!
