Ok…so what now J
I suppose our Journey can’t just run into the brick wall
from the cancellation of the marathon.
Maybe it was a trick to make me feel like the “big” goal wasn’t technically accomplished so we must keep
doing more. Not that I didn’t have that
intention anyway….
In regards to the question I’ve gotten a few times….yes
donations can still be made regarding our quest for this in honoring Team Fox for
running the Marathon (At least in Central Park) J I’ve mailed in a few more, and also on behalf of a donor on the Michael J. Fox Board…they
chose US (Team Spangler) as one of their 4 teams to donate an additional $500
to on behalf of our efforts in Central Park...how cool is that!?…so with the additional funds I’ve
sent in that places us around $10,700 once it gets credited….so maybe we should
shoot for $11,000? Sorry..I know…always asking
for more. , don’t act surprised.

| I had to share this picture because my first thought was I hope dad doesnt' see this. I'm in a "race" and I'm smiling...he would quickly respond with..."You weren't running hard enough".... I actually think he had several talks with me about why I would smile in a race :) I suppose I've forgotten my "game face" over the years. |
I’ve been asked a few times what they are going to do about
the marathon…to be honest, I have no idea J We received an email from the marathon
stating they were still figuring things out and needed some time and would get
back to us.
I have to share this chuckle
from another running/blogger friend I’ve met (via social networking of course), who stated he feels like the
email was a breakup email with the typical excuse “We need space…it’s not you it’s me Email” from NYRR (You can check
out his NYC Marathon feelings on this post of his…it’s funny) J http://markmatthewsauthor.blogspot.com/2012/11/never-mind-ill-find-someone-like-you.html
It made me chuckle….I even had a few thoughts of the movie “He’s
just not that into you”…the marathon is over ME….so I assume while anticipating
what will come of it…hopefully we will just makeshift a project in 2013 with
the motto NYC Marathon…take 2…. Who’s with me? J
A few highlights we got lucky with regarding publicity from
this is an article ESPN did….YES ESPN J You can see it here….
Also, the Charleston Daily mail did an article on the “adventure”, our cause and still running!
I am working on a few ideas for 2013 for Team Spangler…and I’ll
keep you updated J Just be ready to get your runnin’ and walking
shoes on with me J I probably won’t be doing any more races this
year…however I’m working on a game plan for 2013. It will certainly be bigger than this year (Of course!).
Soooo…for today’s laugh…because that’s what we do….is for me
to share another big highlight for me in NYC (For those of you who know me…know
this pretty much is one of the best things that ever could have happened to me
in Central Park and my obsession with the movie)
Just remember….. I just like to smile…smiling is my favorite (I think I'm suppose to put a registered trademark or something on this?)
