What I've been up to so far...

That's a picture of the team after our first training run. I am not a morning runner so it has been tough getting used to moving that early. We did 3 miles. It wasn't bad.

Last night I had a long night of cross training. I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and boy did I dance! If you play music, I'm gonna move. But apparently this applied to no other guest... So my fellow bridesmaid party girl and my sister were the only three who danced. I danced for 2 hours straight. And when I say dance, I mean we did a lot of jumping and shaking and booty moving. I then went downtown with my posse until 4am. I, of course, did more cross training. My legs are so sore today. For anyone reading this and thinking that dancing is not exercise...put on 4 inch heels, blast your music and start moving. In 7 hours tell me how you feel :)

And Friday night, my sister and I completed our fundraising letters. Courtney is amazing and composed letters to all of our family and friends and then drove them in from Texas. I had to meet her and sign them late Friday night.

Welcome to my blog!

So, after hours of trying I finally have my first blog!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I created it as an effort to help raise money for the Louisiana-Mississippi chapter of Team in Training, an organization that raises money to research and treat blood cancers. As I train for the San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll half-marathon, I will attempt to raise a minimum of $3600! All of TNT is raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers.

After learning about the program and hearing the stories of lives touched by blood cancers, I decided that I could do this. I am so excited to use my hobby of running to make a difference in other people's lives.

Please donate to support my participation in TNT and help save lives.

Check back often! I hope to have fun updates on my running progress!
