After school meeting, hour long TFA conference call, a running club event, and our last potluck/going away party = no free time until 10pm...and working out after a party wasn't going to happen. I was tempted to walk and put the phone on mute during the conference call, but I had no time to shower if I did that. I felt pretty bad.
But the good thing is the running club event was a Team in Training event - and I signed up to going the running team and train with them for the Nike Women's Half Marathon in San Francisco (where you get a Tiffany's necklace at the end!)! I've been thinking of joining a running group for a couple years now, and this new goal oriented gal finally got to it!
I have run about 8 half marathons, but have hardly trained for any of them. I'm ready to actually train, connect with different people in the valley, and try fundraising for a good cause (all fundraising goes toward the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society). It's a grand idea - get runners (who are already crazy and extremely motivated) to run and connect with folks in their own network to raise money for a great cause! I had a great time meeting new folks at this event, and am already motivated by their personal goals and stories of loved ones who were affected by cancer. I've had various loved ones in my life have had various types of cancers, and I think this would be a great way to accomplish many of my goals personal as well as doing some good. Look out for my fundraising page - I'd love and truly appreciate all your support!!!!
Hopefully this new running team won't let me miss out on a run again!
