still going strong... but I need your help!
I'm still running, and I'm still loving it (most days). I'm not running 7 days a week anymore, but I'm maintaining a good 4-5. It's been over 2 months since I began my journey into running... 2 MONTHS. Probably the longest I've ever stuck with any workout routine. It's not a phase, it's not a hobby, it's not a trend... it's a habit. Even on the days that I'm not really looking forward to my run, my goals and progress keep me motivated.
Now comes the favor...
As much as I love running, I'm not very optimistic that I can make it to 13.1 miles alone. The plan was always to do weekly long runs with Katie to train for the half marathon in September, but 2 months later our schedules have yet to allow it. So I've decided to train with a group at my Y, but in order to do that I need to raise $250 (or more!) for the We Build People campaign in middle TN. I'm happy to donate to the cause myself, but it would be helpful and greatly appreciated if I could raise some of the funds and even exceed the required amount. I have been assured that 100% of all proceeds will go directly to the organization. Here's a little info about the campaign:
If you can donate $5 or $10, it will not only help out a great cause but it will also help me to reach my personal goals and scratch something off my bucket list! Running has been life-changing, and I promise there will be many more races in my future (some before the half marathon... but more about that later). If you can't donate financially, I welcome emotional support and encouragement too!
