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

Things I learned...

Things I learned on my EIGHTEEN mile run this morning...

  • There are better, more efficient, more enjoyable ways in which to travel 18 miles, but none are more rewarding than running
  • What makes a bunion more unattractive?  A blistered bunion. When the shoe guys says don't wear your new shoes on your first long run, you should listen.
  • Talking Trains are wise; The little train that could knew that there is power in positive thinking, and now I do too
  • Sometimes you just get lucky... no chafing :)
  • I am capable of a lot more than I ever thought I was!
