Counting Down the Days

Well the marathon is Monday and I can finally relax and say that I have done all the running I can do at this point to prepare. Though I am still struggling with a pulled muscle, I have gotten some good long runs in, some much needed hill work on my best friend the treadmill and have also supplemented my running with some weight training and yoga. I feel at this point that I am ready enough for the run and focusing now on the positive mental attitude that will be necessary to pull me through come mile 20+!

I can’t say thank you enough to all the people at Hospitality Homes and the many supporters who have made such generous donations. I also appreciate all the people who wrote to me on my blog with words of encouragement and helpful advice and the wonderful letters and pictures from Driscoll Elementary School Second Grade class. You will never know how helpful your support has been.

I am looking forward to a beautiful day and seeing all of you out there in your Team Kristina shirts:


Until then…

Congratulations! If someone close to Kristina wants to commemorate the day in a special way, take a look at my friend Mark Waitkus' website - he's the official artist of the Boston Red Sox, and he was commissioned to paint the finish line of this year's race! His website is just his name: http://www.markwaitkus.com

Again - congrats on finishing just over 4hrs! Unbelievable!
