Goodbye, Blog!

This is officially my last post.

I had intended for this to be a Cost of Marathoning post but, when we actually started to add up the costs (fundraising mailing costs, clothes, sneakers, race entry fees, doctor appointment costs, medical devices, GU, Gatorade, Sport Beans, travel costs to San Francisco for all of us, etc.) it quickly became too depressing to want to itemize.

So instead, I just want to say thank you to all the people who donated (or wanted to donate but couldn't) through me to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Thanks to your generosity, I raised $4740!

Thank you to the people who read my blog and took the time to send me comments. It was nice to know that other people were sharing in my experience.

And a very special thank you to Braman and Larsson and Nora who dramatically altered their schedules, picked up a lot of slack at home, and spent many boring hours on the sides of various race courses while I trained for the marathon. I simply could not have done it without their wholehearted support.

I plan to continue to run on a casual basis but won't be documenting it on a blog anymore.

Thanks for donating! Thanks for reading! Goodbye!
