Soxology: Very cool gear for the upcoming Sox Season

Posted on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 in Miscellaneous

There are many great things about living here in Boston, but come Spring time there’s one thing that towers above the rest; the Red Sox! (And, yes, on April 20th you’ve got one of the best races in the country; the Boston Marathon.)

Being a part of Red Sox Nation is one of the best things about living here in Boston.  Whether our team is doing good or bad we’re all in it together routing for them! It’s great.

img_3210Over the years we’ve had some very cool additions that have allowed us to enjoy and celebrate our love for the Red Sox even more.  Bleacher Bar has opened it’s doors allowing patrons to see inside Fenway Park from their table while they grab a bite to eat or a cold drink.  We also now have Soxology!

Soxology could be called the unofficial gear of the Red Sox for every Sox fan here in Boston and around the country! I’ve personally own a Soxology t-shirt and love it! 

Recently, I spoke with my friend Jackye, the founder of Soxology, about the Boston marathon because I’m running it and she’s very active and into marathon’s and triathlons.  I told her that I’m running it to raise $5,000 for Multiple Sclerosis under the banner of the Accelerated Cure Project.  After our conversation she has decided to offer you and all your friends an incredibly generous deal, which will support me and my efforts to help the Accelerated Cure Project beat MS.

For every Soxology t-shirt, sweatshirt, or hat you buy Soxology will donate 20% towards the Accelerated Cure Project and give you 20% off your purchase when you use the code “OBEY”! You can buy everything securely at www.Soxology.com.

Thanks in advance for supporting the cause - lets see how much we can raise together!

Marathon Fundraiser Party - Feb. 12th @ Bleacher Bar

Posted on Thursday, February 5, 2009 in Boston Events

Training for the marathon has been much better than expected.  I thought that waking up early and running in sub 30 degree weather was going to be tough.  Turns out, it’s not bad with the proper gear on.  Gloves are a must!

Developing a schedule is important as well.  Personally, I know that if I don’t work out before noon it’s not going to happen - my day simply gets too busy with meetings and events going on at night. My first tip for anyone who has told themselves they don’t have time to train for the marathon (or to do anything else) is to take a look at your schedule and make time. I’ll even make the bold claim that you’ll still remain as productive as you were before you were training for the marathon.  (You’ll get to work knowing you only have an hour to finish the big project instead of two hours SO you focus, you disable g-chat, and get it done.)

So on to the point of this post - I wanted to invite you to Bleacher Bar (82a Lansdowne Street, Boston, MA) on February 12th from 7 - 10 for a party to benefit the Accelerated Cure Project, a non-profit that works to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (the charity I’m running the marathon for). For every $5 you donate you’ll get a raffle ticket for a pair of Red Sox tickets located on the Green Monster.  We’ll be raffling off 10 pairs of tickets!! If you want to come you MUST RSVP on the Facebook invitation here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=49376912837

If you can’t come but still want to donate visit my page here: http://expansion.acceleratedcure.org/jobeymarathon

See you there!
