Hello friends and family,
What you're about to witness can only be described as a miracle. I, Allison Ragan Rutter, have committed to training for and running the 2011 New York City Marathon. Unsurprisingly, I need your help. That's right; your daughter/niece/friend/classmate/former coworker/neighbor had madly decided to raise money for the Celiac Disease Foundation via Team Gluten Free by hoofing it 26.2 miles on November 6th. This is where you come in. Help me make this crazy effort worthwhile by donating here.
I could also use a whole lot of moral support. All of you know that I am not your typical runner, which means that every step will be new, frightening, difficult, and most likely accompanied by a groan. So, I'll be posting my training runs, general progress/thoughts, and running schedule. Guests blogs by my most fervent supporters on running, nutrition, marathon experiences, living with Celiac Disease (CD), and testimonials about how I'm not a runner will also be included. Finally, expect pictures galore as my running shorts get shorter and my runs get longer.
Bets will be taken. Money will be raised. Miles will be run. I hope you'll join me.
Love,
Allison
Better you than me. :) Here's to a gluten-free summer and fall!
ReplyDeleteUm . . . I'm still not sure this is serious. If serious, put a picture of yourself up on this page dressed on that one Halloween as the administrative staff of the place we used to work together. Then I will believe you.
