As you may, or may not have noticed..I am slightly crazy.
By that I mean I have decided I want to run a half-marathon.
This is no small task for someone who used to hate running since her first field day in elementary school. However, its something I’ve always wanted to do at least once in my life.
Yeah, ok, quit rolling your eyes.
I am considering starting another blog related to the training I am doing for the half-marathon (which is in April) as well as the underlying purpose for why I am doing it.
Like any other person in the world, I am not above “begging”. As I have mentioned in the past, I am traveling to Africa in the near future. I am staying at a non-profit resource center that serves the community around it. I am eager to help there and want to give something back.
That is why I have decided to ask for your help (hey, at least I’m not doing a telethon or interrupting your favorite TV show with Sarah Mcglocklen-ridden commercials).
I am asking for you to “sponsor” me as I run by donating whatever amount you can/would like to give towards my Africa trip. Part of the money will assist me in getting there, but a large portion of the money will be given to the resource center to meet any needs they have.
I have included the link to the center at the bottom of this blog. I encourage you to go there and learn more about the work that they do…especially so you know where your money is going.
Alright, there was my only serious thoughts for the year. As I said, I am thinking of making a separate blog dedicated to the race. Stay tuned for more details…
