Back to my usual 'perky' morning person self (thanks to some normal sleep last night), I've decided to check a few things off my to-do list. My mom calls these 'Golden Nights', or at least started to when we first brought Ruby home. ("Was it a Golden night last night?"). I think the description is right on.
As some of you know, I will be participating in Cleveland's Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk for the Cure. If you received my email (and better yet, if you read it!), you know that it includes some pretty extensive training. This weekend, I walked (and partly ran) 6 miles. Whoa. I seem to vacillate between thinking that this will be a pretty easy task (its just walking!) and feeling daunted by what I've decided to do (its walking 60 MILES). This weekend's workout pretty much drove that home.
My sister and I will be walking this together - and I'm SO thankful for that. I really don't think I could do it without her. She's been the spearhead of this whole thing and is pretty inspirational with how much she's been sticking to her training (as opposed to me at this point).
If you're familiar with this event, you know that I need to raise a pretty sizable amount of money to participate. Along with paying for my 'lodging' (read: tenting), it ensures that there will actually be money raised for Breast Cancer research, education, and (hopefully very soon) elimination.
You can check out my personal site through the link on the left. It explains why I am participating in the event, as well as how you can help.
I'm planning on mapping out a great new tee or onesie (or both) to sell on Etsy. All proceeds will benefit the Susan G Komen foundation and will be added to my donation. So check back for updates on that too!
As I look outside at the winter wonderland, my training seems a little more daunting. Although the event is only 17 weeks away, its feels like the end of July will take forever to arrive. I know it will be here sooner then I expect, so I'm taking a page out of my sisters book and I'm trying a little water aerobics tonight. Pray my other classmates won't be too afraid of this post-baby, bathing-suit-wearing body.
