I DID IT!! I RAN THE L.I. HALF MARATHON!!

Yesterday, I ran the Long Island Half Marathon!

I have never ran a race in my life!

With so many of you girls being so amazing, I have managed to raise $2,180 towards Leukemia and Lymphoma research!

I did it under 3 hours and didnt walk once! It's officially the happiest day of my life!

Many of you girls have insprired me by donating to a complete stranger, thank you for sponsoring me! and to those who have emailed me with stories, you have all had such an impact!


The happiest moment was running down the last stretch and seeing my fiance at the finish line screaming 'GO CELIA'
He had a sign that said 'IM SO PROUD OF YOU CELIA'

and thats when I crossed and cried!
