running with a cause
*snaps* for my FastFeetJo fundraising efforts. I'm waiting for one last donation to come in, and once it does, I'll have raised almost 1040€ for War Child!!
Whooooooo hoooooooo!
For those of you "out of the loop," I ran the Berlin half-marathon on April 1st and decided to use the race to raise money for a humanitarian NGO called War Child. It was a grrrreat race and I finished in 1:58:31. I didn't make my goal time of 1:55:00...but considering I had a head/chest cold, I'm happy with my finish.
I tell you, this was my third half-marathon and despite the nearing-the-end-of-the-race dizziness and exhaustion, the post-race aching joints, muscles and bones, and the feeling of needing to barf for at least 2 hours after the race...I loved running every single moment of it.
I feel I can "officially" call myself a runner now and I'm hooked, dare I say, for life. :)
