Run Baby Run

WHEW! I just signed up for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training (TNT). I will be doing my first group run on Saturday, everyone please pray for me! I'm so excited/nervous about this adventure. I wasn't sure if I was committed enough until I heard the bike coach speak tonight and his story about how it personally affects the lives of those living with these horrible diseases had me in tears and got me to sign up. I will be running in honor of my aunt, who is currently battling Burkitt's Lymphoma. I have seen her fight for her life and during all of these trainings and long runs she will be my inspiration. She is such a fighter and I hope that my contribution will bring the society that much closer to finding a cure. The race is May 1st so I don't have much time, but I believe I can do it! I will prob be running/walking and I'm okay with that, I just want to finish!!! I will be sending out emails/letters for donations soon so if you would like to help me make a difference a donation in any amount will be much appreciated. Raising the money is a little bit scary, but I know I can do it, I just have to put my mind to it!

Today was a slow day at work, I had a bunch of cancellations. Tomorrow we are having our "holiday" (in January) party at a local bowling alley. It's always a good time when we get together from work! I'm excited. I think Todd might be coming up too which is also an added bonus for the weekend. I'm looking forward to it!
