My Holiday Wishlist

surrealestateMy wishlist is pretty simple since it consists of one item: donations to Tufts University in sponsorship of my marathon journey. It's even 100% tax-deductible!
Training is especially challenging right now between the natural obstacles of cold, dark, and snow, and a certain other stressor keeping me up at night. The last couple of weeks have not been great for my progress and I need to turn that around starting today. A month ago I had no doubt that I could do this but right now I'm much less sure. Asking for support when I lack the requisite confidence is terribly difficult, but I have to do it and that's part of the challenge. I can hardly express my gratitude to those who have already helped.
This is me after last week's Jingle Bell Run. Yes, that was the outfit I wore for the race (minus the medal, which we got at the finish line). As is evident by the get-up, I didn't run it for time.
So, anyway, that's my wishlist. Well, that and Dominion: Seaside.
