Amy Runs New York

For the second year in a row I will be running the ING New York City Marathon with Team For Kids. Team for Kids is a great foundation that raises money to start and maintain running programs for kids in New York City public schools that may lack any sort of formal physical education program. I ask your support in helping me reach my goal to raise $2,000 for Team for Kids this year. If you would like to donate please follow the links and use my entrant number 18916

The countdown has begun

Only 6 more days to go! I can't wait for Sunday to be here...and then be over! I have no idea how I am going to do, so instead of thinking about it I just want to go out and run it. The weather forecast is looking really good...much better than the last two years when it was too hot for me (70 and sunny), though perfect for watching.


Today was the Poland Spring marathon kick off race in the park. Just a five mile race but it was packed. There were lots of costumes out. I decided to skip the costume this morning, my tourist outfit from last night didn't really seem all that exciting to run in. The fanny pack might have got in the way, and well I definitely couldn't run in those birkenstocks. Sonia and I ran together and trailed behind Pete's entourage for the race. He was dressed at Lance Armstrong complete with the yellow shirt, body guard, two camera men and some bike handlebars. It was funny to run behind and see people's reactions to Adam yelling "Lance coming through!"


There will probably be very little running done in this last week but I still have to do some fundraising to do...and then there is the marathon expo, TFK party friday night, and the arrival of some of my family on Saturday! If anyone has not donated yet and still would like to please click on the link to the right!
