Week Nine

And what a week it has been. The humidity and heat have skyrocketed and this has made training very difficult due to my unusually low tolerance to the recent weather. Today, it seems that the weather has taken a dip and I am planning on a very long make-up run tonight. Just need to get my ipod playlist updated. Last night I went for a run at 9pm, thinking that since the sun had long disappeared, I'd be ok. Oh, not so fast there Rachael...the humidity hadn't dropped a mmHg and the air was stagnant. Beads of sweat dripped from my temples, chin and upper lip, a rather disgusting feeling, since I usually sweat microliters.

In other news...my fundraising has been slow and steady, many thanks goes out to a few more generous people who have helped me raise another $300. I am now just shy of $2K.

Amina and I have set up a fundraising event to get some more support. The event will take place at Felt in Boston on July 18th, beginning at 8pm. There will be pool, music, a cash bar and access to the VIP floor (dancing) for everyone attending. I am a little nervous about it, but I'm hoping it will be a success...
