Week 3

Well, still running like crazy. Mileage is increasing and I am feeling pretty good! I am feeling more and more like a "runner" each day. The "runner's high" has definitely become an addiction. I have a hard time not running, even on rest days! Fundraising has kicked off quite nicely as well. Thank you again for the generous donations! I could not do this without you!


My running partner, Stacey, and I have signed up for another road race! We enjoyed the BolderBOULDER so much that we decided to run the Rocky Mountain Woman's 8K on Sunday, June 8th. I can not believe I am this excited about running! Wish me luck!


Stacey and I jumped on the fundraising train and headed to Wal-Mart. Sunday, June 1st was National Cancer Survivors Day, so we decided to do some bucket fundraising. We did surprisingly well and we are hoping Wal-Mart will match the donations received. Many people were very willing to donate anything from spare change to $10.00 to borrow the cell phone! We may try doing that again soon.


I have also collected a lot of money for Stacey and I's fundraising pub crawl! On June 28th, a mob of supporters will be crawling around downtown Denver, drinking for a cure. I would like to thank Lori, Bryn, Gin, Zach, Krystal, Liz, Brandt, Jude, Morgan, Dubz, Jared, Steve, Natalie, Andy, Heather and Matt for getting their payment in already! I am hoping to add more names to this list in the next few days!


Until next time!

Week 2

I've survived week 2 of training! A month ago I was not a runner, and now running has become part of my daily routine. If I do not run, my day seems incomplete! I never thought I would be able to say that!
I ran my first 10k this week, the BolderBoulder. It was a lot of fun, and I was pretty pleased with my finishing time of about 1:06. It was great to know I can do 6.2 miles... only 20 more to tack on and I will have completed a marathon! Yikes!
I have also noticed that running has consumed me! So I am apologizing now to my poor friends who have to hear about my running day in and day out. Bear with me! I think I will need you to remind me of this enthusiasm come my 15-20 mile runs.
Thanks for reading & for your support!

Here are some pictures of my running partner and I at the BolderBoulder. Without her, I am not sure I could accomplish my goal of 26.2. Thanks Stacey!

Running like girls...

We did it!! We finished!

Week 1

I am finished with week one and I am feeling more and more motivated each day! I ran with Team in Training for the first time and it was awesome! It is so great to be surrounded by so many wonderful people who are working toward the same goal. So far I have been running between 25-35 minutes and am feeling great! I still have a lot of work to do, but I am looking forward to every minute!
