So Predictable. ...Or Am I?

They say death and taxes are the only two things that are sure in life. Clearly "they" aren't predictable like me. I'd like to add to my list the following:

• I will binge eat Sour Patch Kids until my mouth is ripped up and then I can't even look at them for a year
• I will procrastinate my housework until I gross myself out with my own bathroom
• I will swear I've turned over a new leaf each year, and then put off my most hard core fundraising until I have 2 months to go before the marathon
• I will stay up a full hour later than my body wants me to each night because I'm too lazy to get off the couch and brush my teeth
• I will eat healthily for 2 weeks before I finally say "screw this" and hit the fried food with a vengeance
• I will over-train and end up with shin splints by Valentine's Day.

And yet... here I sit on my couch, far from injured, thanks to Vic. Not so predictable this year, am I?

There are less than 2 months to go until Marathon Monday and I'm feeling great. I have good runs and bad runs, but from an aerial view I'm getting stronger and fitter week-over-week and growing more excited by the moment to finally run Boston after a full healthy training season.

I'm also excited because on the fundraising front, I broke $1,000 today thanks to amazing donors like YOU, dear reader. I'm 1/3 of the way to reaching my minimum and 1/10 of the way to reaching my goal. Want to put me closer? Do it up! Waiting it out for the perfect moment? Then chew on this:

• March 13 The New Band will be playing Hajjar's in Weymouth as my first DFMC fundraiser. For a $15 suggested donation you get to rock your socks off in the name of finding a cure. What's not to love?
• March 21 Salon Acote on Newbury Street will be opening its doors on a Sunday especially for my second fundraiser. A handful of fabulous stylists will be donating their time and for a $35 suggested donation ($20 for dudes), you get a snazzy new haircut. 100% of it goes to fund cancer research. Call and make an appointment! Then why not make it a double whammy and while you're there, chop off a foot and give it to for Locks of Love?

Thanks again to you, dear reader, for sticking by me and supporting me. I'm almost there!
