Running The Half

Not only have I signed up to run the Fairfield Half Marathon in June, but I am doing so to raise money for the American Cancer Society. (If you'd like to donate, please do so here). And, since it seems that everyone is blogging nowadays, I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and attempt to do the same. Not only will it give anyone interested the ability to follow my progress, but if I can keep with the blogging, it may help keep me on track with my training.

This is not my first time running The Fairfield Half Marathon. I did it last year just to see if I could do it. Now that I know I can, I have decided to do it for the ACS. We all know so many people who have been affected by cancer, but it hit home three years ago when my husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Luckily, he's doing fine now, and if you want, you can read about what he went through on his blog: http://diecancerdie.wordpress.com/. This June will hopefully be his second cancer-free year, after which we can officially say his cancer is "in remission." It also happens to be right around his 37th birthday. So to commemorate both events, I'm running. . .with his blessing of course, since he has to pick up the slack and watch the kids while I train and run. 

Thanks. :)
