I finished my last training run today...a whole TWO miles!!! It was the easiest two miles I've ever run and apparently motivated Julia, one of my Thursday running buddies, to continue on and run 6 miles. I've also started carbo loading with the help of my friends, Aysen and Wendy. We went for the traditional Korean rice bowl called bibimbap. It's mostly rice with some lean protein in the form of seafood or kalbi and veggies. After dinner, we hit up a spa in Koreatown to relax and soothe my aching muscles. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening.
With regards to fundraising:
I am now over my initial goal of $1000 and am trying to reach a second goal of $1200. My friends, family, and colleagues have been super super supportive and I am already really close to goal #2. My massage place, Raindrop Bodyworks, is also helping out by letting me leave a donation jar at their reception desk.
Additionally, they've donated a free massage for me to hold an online donation contest. Yes, you read that correctly...FREE MASSAGE!
So here here it is, the OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT of the online contest. ANYONE who donates to my Crowdrise page (www.crowdrise.com/JoyceKao) between 12:01 AM Friday, March 16 to 11:59 PM Sunday, March 18 will be entered into a drawing to win a 50 minute massage session of Swedish, Deep Tissue, or combination of either at Raindrop Bodyworks (raindropbodyworks.com)!!!
They've been doing all of my deep tissue massages when I've needed them during the entirety of my training and the fact that I am still standing after running 20 miles should be a testament to their massages :)
