A day at the expo

Remember to donate: www.crowdrise.com/ashleypatterson (donate by tomorrow and get entered to win a raffle)


Marathon Expos are the shit. Yep, I said shit. But really, they are. Had a great time and got so many free bags of cocoa roasted almonds and baked kettle chips. And had all these little 'shots' of Odwalla and flavored sparkly water and gatorade protein drinks. And ate little samples of power gooey things. And got a sweet free New Balance hat that says 'NYC 2010' on it. And saw Dr. Andy (former bachelor - we had a romantic run in a few years back that involved him giving me his email address - it was obviously very intense. he didn't recognize me. darnit.). The list could go on. But basically, marathon expos rock my world because anyone reading this who knows me knows that I LOVE FREE THINGS.


Here are a couple pics from the day. Thanks to SSR for coming with me. Love you boo.


And a big thank you to my many donors this week. Tina, David and Claudia, Kate, Anonymous, Andrea and Paul, Nat, Elizabeth and Jonathan (congrats on the engagement!), and Diana. I COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU GUYS!! I'm almost 2/3 of the way to my fundraising goal!  Love to all of you. Also - all you cool cats are going to get entered to win a really cool raffle. Stay tuned...





Read what it says.  It made me laugh.  It's actually posted on my fridge right now.

Can't decide if this map makes me feel better or worse.  At least it's pretty.

One week and counting...

The countdown has officially begun. We are one week out from race day.  This weekend they put up the marathon route signs.  This one is coincidentally a block away from my new apartment.  I think it will be around mile 8 or 9 as I'm running by this.

So excited!!



Big thank you's to Stacy, Lauren, and Brad and Suzanne for their generous donations this week!!!  I've now raised $1,105 towards my goal - THANK YOU to everyone who has donated! Spread the word:
