A little more than motivation

I wanted to dedicate a "bit o space" (that phrase always reminds me of "The Secret Garden" where Mary asks her uncle for a "bit o earth" but I digress) to tell you about the support that I'll be getting which is in the form of Team in Training.

What I love is that there are coaches, mentors and others who will help train you right. Not throw you to the wolves and expect you to run lots of miles without any sort of idea of what you're getting yourself into (hmmm...should this phrase have been "throw you to the wolves where they'll start to chase you"?). Any any rate, they have clinics, calendars and all sorts of tools to help you meet your goal. And my goal right now is to just finish the event. :)

There is one thing that is even more daunting than doing the race...that is raising the money to participate in the race. That means I need $2,000 from you. Yes you. You're reading this, aren't you? Stick 'em up - hand over that wallet of yours. Ha ha ha. I'm kidding about the $2k all at once, but yes, I do have to raise $2k by mid-Jan. So, if you are able to donate anything, I'd really appreciate it. Yes, really, really. Even $5 would be fantastic. And, if you work for a company that matches donations, that would be even cooler because your money would go twice as far. Have I mentioned that you look mah-veh-loos?
