It is hard to believe the race is just 3 weeks away- The city of Boston painted the finish line downtown last week which has boosted the excitement and anticipation of Marathon Monday! I also received my runner's passport and bib number in the mail this last week, so final race preparation has begun. This also marks the start of tapering down for the race as we all have completed our longest training runs! It is always a challenge to run less after months of building up the miles as the race approaches.
I am incredibly honored to once again be running with the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge and able to represent them during the race wearing the fantastic racing singlet they designed for us this year. With the help of all of you, we have raised over $2,300 for cancer research this season! Every donation that has been made and will be made makes such an impact in changing the lives of others. We have all been affected by cancer either directly or indirectly- this is a great way to help out with the race to find a cure.
To make a donation, simply visit www.runDFMC.org/2014/sarah or contact me personally via a comment to get the mailing information for check donations. Your support is greatly appreciated!!
As we approach race day, we are all also remember the tragic events of last year and reflecting back. A year has flown by quickly. Boston and the running community have pulled together in an incredible way over the last year and have worked hard to overcome both physical and emotional challenges to get to the starting line again on April 21, 2014. We will all be running, cheering and watching with a "Boston Strong" mentality in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more updates as the race approaches! For now, I want to share my fundraising video once again. Enjoy!

Have a great week!
