Training/Fundraising Update - Part IV

Time to step up the fund raising!!

First I have to say thanks to everyone that has already donated to this great cause. This is an important time for me to really get on the ball and improve my fund raising efforts. I understand it's a tough time for everyone. The CCFA is such a great cause and if you're reading this you already know someone affected by the disease. My hope is that if I ever get really sick, that by that time there will be more advances in Crohn's medications or even a cure! It's through events like Team Challenge and the Rock-n-Roll 1/2 marathon that the CCFA will one day be able to find a cure.

Training is going really good. I'm running SO much more and getting faster with each workout. I know that in a short time I will be able to run 4 miles without stopping. To further motivate, I have signed up for five challenges through Nike.com. I'm participating in the Nike Human Race 10K, the Ambassadors Challenge, the 100 Mile Challenge, Nike T-shirt Challenge, and the Nike Shoe Challenge. Whew! That's a lot of challenges, huh! Some are easy, like the t-shirt challenge and some not so easy, like the 10K. I've already clocked 51 miles, so I figure I'll finish the 100 mile challenge in a few weeks. Yay! How awesome is that?! Who would have thought that this self-proclaimed "couch potato" would ever complete a 100 miles?! Crazy!!

OK, I'm finished patting myself on the back. Hey, if you don't toot your own horn who will?? I hope everyone is doing great. I appreciate all of your support and words of encouragement. Have an awesome week!
