Today, being Wednesday, I decided to rest. I've got a big run on Saturday and a 5K tomorrow, so I don't want to wear myself out. I figure I'll gain more by resting today than by doing 20 minutes of cross training.
Instead I planned on focusing on fundraising. That, well, sort of happened. I wrote an e-mail letter to family and friends. And I created a facebook event. But I just can't bring myself to send them yet. I'm not sure who it's appropriate to send these requests to. Honestly, I've never gotten a request for donations from any of my friends or family members before, so I feel weird doing it.
What makes me feel weirder is that I already hit up all my relatives and family friends for money for Dance Marathon in fall of 2007. This is for a similar cause, and I just feel like a total leech.
I could use some real input on the Facebook thing though. Do I send it to everyone I know, assuming most will ignore it, but also assuming a few unexpected people will donate a little? I sort of feel that Facebook is informal enough that it's okay to just send it to a bunch of randoms I never talk to anymore. But I'll have to think a little more before I decide who to send the invite to. We shall see.
