2011 Charity Run Challenge

Being in desperate need of a goal and something to strive for, I have officially begun my 2011 challenge. I used to workout regularly while training for pageants. These days, though, it's a burden to walk to the bus stop. I know that sounds horrible but since our wedding in November, my life has been upside-down.

This past saturday, my husband signed me up for the "Run to Remember" 5k for fallen law enforcement. Something clicked. I had a new challenge.

Although it is not May, I haven't yet decided if this challenge will run for 12 months or just the 2011 calendar year.

So, help is needed. There are a couple ways to help.

1. Run with me. I know that sounds crazy but accountability is the best form of support for someone who struggles with motivation. You don't have to come to chicago to run, although if you want to, I have a fabulous couch to crash on. :) You can also run where you are and send me your stories.

2. Sponsor a run. The entrance fees don't sound like an extreme amount of money but believe me it starts to add up. Send me a message and I can let you know which runs I'm planning to do. Or, if there is one you would like to do but can't I will try to do it for you, just send me the info.

3. Donate. I honestly cannot wrap my head around running for the sake of running. So my 5ks will all be in support of a charity. the majority of them will be for cancer research since it is so close to my heart. Send me a message and I'll send you the link for which organizations I will be running for.

I really hope you will support me in whatever way possible.
