26 Or Bust!

It’s day two of the new year and week five of a new me. The miles will start to increase this week with a six to seven mile run on Saturday and then there’s no looking back. It really will be 26 or bust as I start building up to running 26.2 miles. That’s something I never thought I’d be able to do. Who am I kidding, I never thought I’d be able to run six miles! Saturday will mark my first major…well…first. It will be the first time in training that I can look at what I’ve done and say, “I never thought I’d be able to do that, but I just did.” The thought of that is down right amazing to me and has me psyched to head to the park Saturday morning. May this feeling of optimism and wonder last me through all six miles!

Speaking of things I never thought I’d be able to do, I’m closing in on the $600 mark in my fundraising. Yes, it’s still a few dollars short of my $6000 goal, but it’s more than I’ve ever raised before. Thank you to everyone that’s supported me already!

If you haven’t yet contributed, what better way to kick off the new year than with a donation to aid patients battling cancer? Just consider it fulfilling a new year’s resolution of helping others. January won’t even be over and you’ll be able to honestly say that you did see through on at least one resolution this year. Won’t that be a nice change?
