2 more revisions and now it's done

Ok, the letter is finished.  I was hoping to email it to Copies Now but they are closed today. I've started addressing envelopes and need to finish up my webpage and get this blog looking a little more like I want it to.
On the running front, my back issues are slowly fading away.  Today I did a "long run" of 8.5 miles in a steady rain.  After not running for a week after my back decided to lock up it felt really good to run on some uneven terrain and to open it up and run fairly hard.

Letter Finished

I've finished the letter and now it's time to print it out, print cards, and start addressing envelopes as well as work on the web page. The letter has taken 4 revisions but I finally think I'm happy with it.  We shall see.

Writing the letter

Working on the rough draft of the main fundraising letter tonight.  I didn't expect it to be such an emotional experience but it sure was. $8,000 seems like so much money (and it is.)  I guess it's similar to starting a 26.2 mile run in that it can seem pretty intimidating until you get started. This is definitely not within my comfort zone but I know it will work out somehow.
