I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Jason and I have a chance of winning a wedding in Bermuda!! We are one of three finalists and need people to vote for us every day until June 15th (bonus if you use both your home and work computers!!!)

All you need to do is go to the link:

http://tiny.cc/xdxfi

type in the encrypted words and hit vote. It only takes 15 seconds and this wedding would be such a dream come true!!! If everyone can just write themselves a little reminder to vote at the same time every day, I would appreciate it so much. 

I pledge to run every day during the rest of the voting period so I can earn the right to beg for your votes! Feel free to leave us a little comment too so I know you were there :) But most importantly, vote!!

Thanks!!!!

*******CALLING ALL FRBers!!!********* 

Hi everyone!! If you haven't seen yet I am working really hard to win a "green" wedding in Bermuda. I am asking that you help me out by voting here:

http://tiny.cc/xdxfi

just type the words and click the vote button. Easy peasy and your vote means more than you know.  Don't take my word for it though, try it out!!!

Thanks so much, and for those voting please hang in there, one week left! 

Let's do this!!! 

 


On to the running:

First full tempo workout in a while!! 1x1600, 8x400. Slow due to the heat, but finished is finished! It's always worth it to see the friendly faces :)

As promised I will continue to run daily for your daily votes!

Tempo in maaaajor Florida heat. Didn't quite get a 5k done, instead 2.5 miles. And I am proud of those 2.5.

Meanwhile... still hoping to get your vote! 5 days of my begging left, and you can vote daily. You all are being so awesome about this, and I appreciate every single vote you send our way!

And apparently Jason looks like Nevels. What do you think?

I didn't enjoy tonight's run :( I think there is going to be a full moon tonight and it brought out all the creepies. Lots of weirdies honking horns (turning directions just to honk again) and even spitting at me, a backyard fire, and a dead body (I didn't see it though). All of that in 1.5 miles. I ran scared the whole time. I hate it when that happens. C'est la vie. 

 

Please take a second to vote for me and Jason to win the wedding of our dreams. We only have four days left to get votes. It only takes a few seconds:

This whole contest has been an amazing (but tiring) experience. The support people have given us has been humbling and brought me to tears several times. We're just asking for four more days.  Please and thank you!

Another short run so I can go long tomorrow. This is my first time running every day in one week since my sophomore year of college. And I just finished my 9th year of college, so it's been a while!!

Went out the same way I did yesterday and within 3 minutes someone had made a crude comment. People are crazy lately, but I guess I need to stop letting it get to me. Or start running in the morning again when the crazies are still in bed.

 

After tonight only 3 voting days left! Please stick with us.  http://tiny.cc/xdxfi

You all have been nothing short of awesome! I think it has to do with our innate competitive drive. 

 

 

P.S. There was still a heat index of over 100 while I was running, and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. Ew!
