I've gotten out for a few runs since I made my 10 race commitment.  I had only run twice since Thanksgiving and I have to admit I was feeling the effects.  :0  I got a good three and half miler in.  I'm so thankful for the nice weather we've been having which makes getting outside to run so much easier.  I've heard the Rocky theme song in the car three days in a row. Coincidence?!?!  I think not.  I'm feeling a little "Rocky" like.  I might have to add it to my running playlist.  ;)

I also am so excited that two friends have joined me in running for the Fitzgeralds.  They may not run every race I do, but will be running many of them and raising money too!  I have a team!!  Persistence pays off...thanks girls!!


I wanted to share the links to the blogs of the family I am raising money for in case you would like more information about them.  I admire their strength and can't imagine their pain.

I also came across this etsy site.  The woman is donating all proceeds to the Fitzgerald Cancer Fund, which is amazing!!  I bought a four pack.  One for me and 3 as Christmas gifts.  The bracelets are beautiful.

Merry Christmas everyone!!  I'll post again after the holidays.  I'll also have the papal link up before my first race on January 1st!!
