P and I signed up for our first race! It is a 5K (much better than the 10K we were going to run last October until they changed the date, grrrr), and it's the Susan Komen Race for a Cure! I think I am more excited about it than Paolo is considering it is on his birthday weekend... and I'm guessing the tshirt we get is going to be pink! ;) However, I can't think of a better cause to run for... I have had various family members affected by breast cancer, including my great grandma and my grandma, along with a scare for my mom a few years back. Both my grandmas survived, and fortunately my mom didn't end up having it, but it was still scary. My favorite English teacher from HS also was diagnosed and is a survivor of breast cancer.
I'm not going to be actively fundraising, but if you would like to sponser me in the race, you can donate to: http://www.komennorthflorida.org/site/TR/Race/Administratorsonly?px=1197133&pg=personal&fr_id=1080
I officially started training yesterday. My goal is to run the entire 5K in 35 minutes or less :)
