It's the hottest day of the summer...

...and I have to leave for a 14.5-mile run in less than an hour. I've set what I think will be an enjoyable route, but I'm absolutely dreading running in the heat. Given that I nearly collapsed while chopping tomatoes for burritos at R's, I think that this is reasonable. I'm hoping for a sudden snowstorm.

I'm going to run south on Yonge, east to Broadview, north to O'Connor, east to Pape, south to Queen, west to River, south to King, west to Bathurst, north to College, east to Queen's Park, north to Harbord, west to Ossington, south to Dewson, and west to Havelock.

My fundraising is nearly complete, finally, and I'd like to thank the following people for their generous donations:

-S, my fabulous friend and co-worker
-C, my baseball teammate and co-worker
-D, my ever-so-supportive brother
-B, my best friend, pal, and confidante (a la The Golden Girls)
-R, my Nana's brother and my great-uncle

I've now raised $5530, or 92% of my goal. I've got $470 to raise by Wednesday--otherwise, it looks as though I'll be making a huge deposit on my credit card!

Did I mention that I need to get my passport documents in order?
