So where have I been?
Training. For a half marathon.
....
Ok, now that you've picked yourself up from your laughing fit on the floor: no really, I'm training for a half marathon. It's been kinda fun actually. Granted, I've been feeling under the weather for the last few days, so no working out since Wednesday, but I'm really enjoying the challenge it gives me, the feeling of accomplishment, the desire to continually beat my last time.
In addition, I'm running with my sister (the person who talked me into this) and my brother in law to raise money for the Pennsylvania SPCA. We created a
blog, a
fundraising page and a
Facebook page. The goal is (bare minimim) $1000 to raise for the Pennsylvania SPCA. And hey, we even have a clever name for ourselves: The Kennel Runners! Huh? Huh? I like it. :)
So what do I want from you guys, exactly? Well, first, moral support. I've never run a whole mile, let alone 13 of em. I firmly believe it may just kill me. At least right now it feels like that. Maybe by September, it won't be as scary of a feeling. Second, we need some monetary help. We are at $120 raised. That only leaves $880. It seems like a daunting amount of money to be raised right now, but I firmly believe that we can do it. It is for a really good cause, and given the recent headlines in Phily surrounding animal cruelty, the Pennsylvania SPCA needs that money a lot.
Thank you all in advance! Feel free to call, text, or message me with any questions you have. Thanks!!
