7 days to MCM

One week from today I will start and finish the Marine Corps Marathon.  I've been counting down for so long, being in the single digits is very exciting.

Last night I went out with some friends I've know since college.  Kathy set up a fun night for us at a few restaurants in DC.  I missed the first stop, but was able to catch up a Jaleos, a wonderful tapas restaurant near the Verizon Center.  Then we went to America Eats for desert.  The food was amazing at both locations and I would recommend them to everyone.

America Eats take on Key Lime Pie - YUMMY!

I spent today relaxing, running errands, and watching football.  I was supposed to get in a 4 mile run but I'm feeling a bit run down.  I've been fighting a head cold since I got back from Atlanta and I think today it won.  I hope to wake up tomorrow feeling better.

It's still not too late to make a tax-deductible donation to the Susan G Komen Marathon for the Cure.  I have now raised $2,100.00!! Thank you everyone!!   Click here to visit my fundraising page.  For anyone who donates $50.00 or more I will write your name on my marathon day shirt.  I must say my shirt is going to be quite full of names!!
