Well hello there friends & familia!
You're probably wondering what the heck I got myself into now so, let me just start from Thursday, May 21st when Rebecca (Red) my crazy, super athletic friend tagged and dragged me to a Team in Training meeting at the local Potrero Hill Sports Basement. When I came to, a video was playing, my credit card info was magically written on an application form and a spot on the race was secured. By that time, I was convinced I need to do something for someone else other than me and my spoiled hubby (whom I baby since my landlord won't let us have pets).
After not so much thought, Red and I decided to kick some ass and run the Nike Women's Marathon on Sunday, October 18th!!! Woot! Go girl power and all that pink, hello kitty stuff!
Our training starts A.S.A.P. where we'll slowly put our bodies into torture! So, if you see us guzzling protein shakes in between hill and sprint reps you know why. While we train and get harder, better, faster and stronger there are people out there who may not be as lucky or healthy as us due to a diagnosed blood cancer...and those people, our dear friends and family are who we are running for.
Please help us reach our goal of a little over $2,000 [each] so that we can take part in helping improve the lives of those with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and maybe, someday...even cure them by donating to Team in Training at the link below. For a limited time, I will post some awesome opportunities (event tickets, gift certificates, etc.) for donating to my campaign. You can check my blog from time to time or subscribe to my RSS feed.
Thank-you for reading this and if any of you out there have any marathon running tips or words of encouragement I'd love to hear them just the same =)
Ginormous Hugs,
Charm
