How I did it
It made me
proud 
How I did it: While my sister was not able to run, and my boyfriend was the only fan in person, the Susan G. Komen was an incriedibly successful first run. I was able to connect to and chat with so many people that I am not able to on the regular. My fundraising was also practically tripled which floored me to see who was able to contribute. My boyfriend and I made a trip of it down to Virginia Beach and enjoyed the atmosphere. … Read how I did it…

Shocked! 
How I did it: I had finally started this goal over the Spring when entertaining my idea of purchasing a netbook. When I visited my brother he lent me his extra hard drive to back up the files and programs on the desktop to help it run smoother in the meantime.
