So tomorrow morning we will have our first 13 mile run -- basically a half marathon. As of right now I'm looking forward to it and not too nervous. The training runs have been going really well and I'm meeting a bunch of great people.At our training run last Wednesday, we had a birthday celebration for two of our honored team mates. I especially liked having them at the workout because we were doing hill repeats at Lock & Dam, and the extra inspiration really helped. This is a picture we took with the team before we started.
Last Saturday after our run at Gateway Trail, I went to the Carp's Cancer Crushers (CCC) golf fundraising event. CCC is my family's White Bear Lake - Relay for Life team. We've been doing a golf tournament fundraiser for the last several years and it's always a wonderful success. Last year our team was the top fundraising team for the WBL Relay with over $22,000 raised. This year has been extra special because my Uncle Jeff (one of my personal honorees) is celebrating 10 years cancer free!
Finally, any one interested in coming to dinner/silent auction fundraiser at Gastoff's in Northeast a the end of August should let me know so I can get you tickets. It's a blast and I can certainly get you more information if you want.
GO TEAM!
