Spring is in the Air

I love the days when Mother Nature rewards us for surviving the long winter with a few days of spring-like weather. This weekend temps reach 50! It was amazing! I took this opportunity to start my training. I did a 5 mile walk to enjoy the awesomeness of pre-spring. I want to believe that this means winter is over - after all Phil did not see his shadow and predicted an early spring - but I know that there are still wintery days to come. My goal this week is to join a gym.  Something I have been planning on doing for a couple of months, but have yet to accomplish. This Saturday will be 6 months to the event. I need to start training.

My fundraising has also been encouraging. I am now at 10% of the required $2,300. WOOHOO! I plan to send out a batch of fundraising letters/emails this weekend. I also need to send out thank yous to those who have already donated.

With the help of my wonderful friend Fiona, I have begun planning a fundraising event. If you are a woman living in the Twin Cities area (or willing to travel to the Twin Cities area for a fun event) and have a bra that you have been thinking that you should probably toss, DON'T!  You will need it for this event. More details to come as it gets closer.
