Welcome!

This blog is to document my seemingly impossible, somewhat daunting, yet extremely exciting, journey to completing my first marathon. I invite you to keep track of my progress and cheer me on: I know I'll need your support!

Speaking of support... I am not taking on this adventure just for bragging rights or just to look better during beach season. I have pledged to raise money for St. Jude's Children Research Hospital. After some reading, I'm very excited to join their cause: they will not turn down cancer treatments for children of families who cannot afford it. I'm thrilled my fundraising efforts will go towards helping a child receive the proper care, to give them a fighting chance against a disease that has unfortunately, almost certainly, touched at least one person we know and care about.

Please visit my fundraising page to support in any way you can and keep on visiting my blog to nudge me off my couch and get on the trail! www.mystjudeheroes.org/funnytoes

Glass of... Speed Bump

This isn't completely related to my marathon training except for that it happened right after I finished a run... but I went to the liquor store to pick up a bottle of red... walked straight to the discount section, naturally... and pretty much saw a message from above: Speed Bump, red wine.  

No joke.  

And it's delightful!  So obviously it was meant to be- tackling metaphorical speed bumps in my marathon training and appreciating a glass of Speed Bump red in my downtime... life is good!
