Day 75. Absolutely crazy week in an absolutely good way. I got in a full week of running and the 8 miles yesterday were strong, which is a nice change from “struggling to finish” that I have been doing a lot of as of late. I am excited for this Saturday, because I have a 14 mile run that will give me a good indication of where I am in my training. Hopefully I am still excited after Saturday!

April 1st was awesome. I woke up to 17 donations in my inbox and was absolutely confused. I opened the first one (from my older brother Nick) and just figured that TNT accidentally duplicated the email and sent it to me 16 more times. The next donation was from my nephew Dominic (amazing considering he is 6 1/2 months old) … and then I realized that these were 17 unique donations. So then it took me about 12 seconds to realize someone must have said something to someone and there was a mass email somewhere. I called home and got the runaround from my sister, who just laughed and told me to enjoy the day…

24 hours and roughly 42 donations later… my donation total had jumped a little more than $1,600… more than doubled what it had started the day at. Thank you to everyone who donated thus far and on that day. It was a lot of fun checking the website throughout that day watching the total rise and a lot of people are going to benefit because of it. Thank you. I am also 98% sure who I am to thank for sending the emails out to everyone to make this happen and given our Ron Paul history… I’m assuming the term “MoneyBomb” was used in there somewhere. At some point I will compile a list of people who have donated thus far, and post it on here; but for those interested you can go to the link above to my TNT website and look at the sidebar.

It was a good week, thank you. Enjoy the start of the baseball season! Go Crew!
