And so I am finally back, and finally have a minute to sit down and write a little. The site has changed a little…thanks to pictures from Katelyn Nesi Photography I was able to change the layout and look of the site. Would love to hear comments on it! So let me catch you up on everything I said I’d catch you up on:
Photo shoot and Manasquan Reservoir Run
The photo shoot went really well. Katelyn was great and had some good ideas. She was very professional, and very helpful. If you ever need some photography work done, definitely give her a call!Â
It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day for it. It’s pretty funny…I brought changes of clothes and “props”…but I think they helped to get some good pictures. Some of my favorites are below. I hope to have them all up shortly.
After the photo shoot I decided I might as well go running while I was there. I haven’t run there since high school! It actually turned out to be a really good run. Did the full 5 mile loop in around 41 minutes. It was really hot, but it was a lot of fun. Felt great throughout the run, and was happy to get it in since I wasn’t sure about running with vacation coming up.
Camping / VA Runs
So we actually got some runs in while we were on vacation (my girlfriend and I). Before we left for Virginia we got up and ran 5 miles. After that we got ready, hopped in the car, and drove down to Luray, VA to set up camp. We got a really great camping spot…pretty big with only one other site next to us, and it was in the shade. While there, we went canoeing, tubing, and hiking. On the day we went hiking, we also got up and ran 3 miles on this bike path in Luray. It was scenic. On Friday we visited the Luray caverns, then did get a short run at our hotel in Tyson’s Corner outside of DC. Here’s some pictures from the trip:
Patriots Game Rescheduled
The Patriots game is rescheduled for August 24 at 7 p.m. To buy tickets or 50/50s, please contact me ASAP! If you already bought tickets for the previous game, I have new tickets for you. Please contact me about those as well!
Donating
Lastly today, I wanted to reach out to everyone who is thinking about maybe making a donation, but is thinking they don’t have the money to do so. Please, every dollar counts!  Each dollar raised brings us one step closer to finding a cure for blood cancers! So take a minute, click on the link on the right, and make a donation. It will be GREATLY appreciated!

And as always…Run on Friends!!!
So…our fundraiser with the Somerset Patriots got rained out. Â It had been raining (well, pouring) on and off all day, but I was hopeful that it was going to hold off. Â At lunch I ran to the bank to get change, and the dollar store to get balloons. Â After work I picked up the balloons and headed to the game. Â Got to the stadium around 5:30 to set up, and by then it had started to rain again. Â The balloons had tangled up while in the car, and I couldn’t get them untangled…so instead of 2 things of balloons, just had one. Â Then, I was having trouble separating the 50/50s into strips of 15. Â Luckily Stephanie showed up shortly after and everything smoothed out. Â Around 6 we wer set up, and it was still raining. Â It was almost 8 o’clock by the time they called the game on account of rain. Â We managed to sell some 50/50s, but unfortunately not too many people showed up to the game, so there wasn’t too many people to sell to. Â Fortunately, however, we are being given the opportunity to fundraise at another game this season, date yet to be determined. Â Check the Patriots 50/50 page to see more details on that. Â Hopefully we’ll get a nice weather day where tons of people show up and are feeling generous.
