Stupid Phil

Punxatawny Phil said Spring was coming. Liar!

It's been so cold and dreary lately, I am beginning to wonder if we are just going to skip Spring altogether. Maybe we'll wake up on June 1st and it will be 90 degrees! In the meantime, they are calling for more cold temperatures this weekend and terrible rain on Sunday!

Fundraising is coming along slowly but surely. We have raised about $4200 at this point-- almost to the halfway mark. We are planning to go around to local businesses to try and get some sponsorship that way. We never thought we would get to this point, so I know we will make our goal of $9000.

Training is going well. We are going to need new sneakers soon! I guess we need to get them about 4 weeks (min) before the race, so they are broken in enough. We are really getting excited for the event!

Our team will be doing a scavenger hunt in San Diego the first night. Our coaches and event staff found a company that takes you on a 2- 2 1/2 hour hunt around the major sites in the city, and you end up at a restaurant for pizza and drinks! It will be a great team activity, and a wonderful way to see the city. My friend Beth (my old roommate from college) has been training with the TNT Boston team-- she'll be joining us in San Diego. It will be a fun weekend! We have to take 3 days off from work to go. Our flight on the way home is the red-eye, so arrive in Philly early Tuesday morning. We didn't think it would be smart to try and work after such a long night!

Thanks to everyone for your support. We continue to grow and change with this journey. It's been such a great experience, and we thank you for sharing it with us!
