Training for the Marathon

Many thanks are required this evening...after an evening of tabulations, I can announce that I've passed my fundraising minimum goal for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. That means I can run the Rock 'n Roll Marathon on June 5 without owing any money. Great news for a starving student like me. :-) Thanks to all those who contributed, as well as all of you who have been cheering me on all the way. I should note that I'm still collecting donations if you'd like to help the LLS. To donate, click here.
Less than 2 months to race day, and I'm completely in awe of the generosity of my friends and family. Thank you all so much. Now it's up to me to run a race.

Ain't no time like the present
Had a big presentation today, err...yesterday. It was supposed to be forty minutes long, but I ran over the hour mark. Good stuff. Lots of questions by the professor and students in the class, and I think I did a good job answering them. At one point it even became comfortable to be up in front of the class. I always get so worked up about presentations. Something about them just makes me extremely nervous. Nerves eventually waned, I just needed to be up there for long enough.
Went on to have a relaxing and interesting evening. Let's just say my crepe-making skillz can use some work. I needed a night of fun, though...since I've been tearing my hair out with work lately. The fun doesn't stop...I've still got more catching up to do tomorrow. Grading + wiki + National Center on Accessibility. Not to mention the fact that I haven't run in days. 14 miler coming up Saturday. I'll try to do 5 tomorrow if I manage to wake up.
It's been a while since I really sat and thought about life. I jot down notes here at Notta Blog, but they're (semi)coherent and public, which leads to the painting of beautiful pictures. I need a forum for me, myself, and I...if there's time for that. Perhaps I'll simply keep notes in my head...
