My friend Becky and I have signed up to run in the Baltimore Race for the Cure on October 21st. In addition to being my pal, Becky was also instrumental in helping me conquer my fear of the gym, and continues to make my trips to the gym easier and more interesting by joining me on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She also runs on a regular basis, and assures me that I can handle running a 5k. For those not metrically inclined, that works out to 3.1 miles. I regularly do more than that on the elliptical machine, but I think this weekend I’ll hop on the treadmill, just to be sure I really can run that far.
We don’t have to raise money to participate, but I thought I’d mention that we were doing it, and include a link where people can donate, just in case. It is an excellent cause after all, and who am I to stop you from supporting it?

Hey, that's great! Now if I could conquer my fear of the gym....
Eeep my computer hates me and I don't know if it posted the comment or not. Either way, congrats and go you. Maybe I'll actually go to the gym tomorrow.
