Running for a Cause: NYC Half

I've wanted to run the NYC Half ever since I learned about it but so far have been unable to win the lottery  When the results for 2013 came in and I learned that Alek would be in the race while I was denied, I was excited for him but not sure what I wanted to do.  I was hoping that the Sleepy Hollow Half or the Allstate New York Half would be held on the same weekend so I could also run a race.  Sadly both of those will take place on March 23 and I've already got plans!

I noticed that fundraising spots were still open for the New York City half, so I decided that was the way I would enter the race!  I've decided to join the American Cancer Society's DetermiNation  team to help with cancer research and prevention.

After 2012, its pretty clear that a half marathon is no challenge for me.  I want my supporters to feel like they're helping to push me through something challenging, so I'm going to train to run the NYC half in less than 2 hours.  I've never before been able to do this, but with some dedicated training it will be possible.

If you'd like to help end cancer and support me in my sub 2 hour NYC Half, you can donate at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/sadpony.  Remember, every dollar helps!
