Let's save some lives!

Ready...set...go run to my fundraising page!! The link is to the right! Do. It. Now!

Yes, it's time that I make the fundraising push for Team in Training. This summer has absolutely flown by and the clock is ticking to my race to finish fundraising and my race day.  Team in Training is an amazing organization that trains athletes (as they say, we're all athletes, some of us are just not in training!) for physical endurance while raising funds for blood cancers. They are supportive, caring and strong, everything that I would like to be. So be a friend and help kick cancer in the butt!

My letters and emails have gone out, but for those of you that only get my updates here on the interwebs, I'll provide you with the background:

With 3 kids, work and a very full life, what’s the most logical thing to do? Train for a half marathon with Team in Training! And so that is what I am doing. This October I will be running with Team in Training in the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco.

In all honesty, the reason I chose to do this is for and because of my family and my hectic life. I have been truly blessed with my own health and three beautiful children, and I know that others out there are fighting battles that I cannot imagine. I’ve joined Team In Training, an endurance training and fundraising program that benefits The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and have committed to support their efforts to treat and cure blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma), and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. I signed up because I want to give something back.

I truly believe that running has made my life so much more enjoyable and manageable since I started again 2 years ago, and I hope that my running can help others live a fuller life too. Please help me reach my fundraising goal by making a 100% tax-deductible donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

I’ll always be training in memory of my cousin Logan and carry her name on my wristband, and everyday my list grows of people who have been affected by cancer. As I train, a mile at a time, it is with passionate hope that I can make a difference.

With love, warmth and thanks,

Rebecca

I'm back on the (running) wagon!

After essentially doing nothing July except being a hardcore parent, I am back to my running and regular routine. Whatever regular is these days...

In July I did this:

But I did not do a lot of this:

 July was fun (except for the revolving door of germs that leads to at least one kid being sick through out the entire month), but now it's time to get back to work! So far this week I have accomplished something that I had yet to do this summer: run 2 days in a row! I'm on a hot streak baby! I gotta keep it up!
