I had a nice little Taste of Thai soiree on Saturday evening, after running 17 miles that morning. I was able to make most of the thing I intended, with one tiny freak out about not having enough food, so we ordered vegetarian rice from the local Thai place down the block.
The rain held off and we were able to dine in the backyard. Sadly, I did not get any pictures!!! Prepping food, chasing a two year old and trying to be a hostess got the best of my time management skills and I wasn't able to whip out the camera.
I'm essentially doubtful about my Thai culinary skills, to be honest (though the minced pork with holy basil got lots of complements, as did the black sticky rice dessert), but so thankful my friend may have overlooked my "skills" and still donated generously to Team for Kids. I am close to reaching my fundraising goal for the marathon, and with less than a month to go, am very grateful!
So, to all who came and those who could not but were still willing to support, thank you so much for your generosity, not only monetarily, but in friendship and enthusiasm for my marathon journey. I really REALLY appreciate everyone who has offered cash and prayers and please know that when YOU are fundraising for something, you can always reach out to me for support!!
ps: 17 miles that morning...3 crazy giant loops around the bridal path and some added paths to increase mileage...and I did okay! Very happy with my 10:30 pace (faster than I intended, and thus, surprised by it). And other than my knees feeling overworked that afternoon and evening, I recovered quite fast. All of it is amazing to me. How is it possible? I am so not an athlete. Regardless, here's to 20 next weekend!!!
