Well fellow Marcher's...this morning I took a BIG step. I signed up to run a 1/2 marathon in January for the Team in Training. I set a personal goal for fundraising and all the money goes to the Leukemia Society. I signed up to run but may taper that to a walk come closer to the event if I need to reevaluate. I have to tell you it felt soooo good to make the commitment!! I have 8 healthy and happy kids (4 of them are step kids but mine non the less). I am grateful every day for their health and wanted to give something back. I will be given an adult or child honoree to walk for. I also want to honor anyone else who has fought the battle of blood borne cancers and walk in memory of anyone who did not survive their fight. If anyone would consider sponsoring me on this miraculous and life saving adventure please email me privatley. Im sure I will keep you all updated as I make my way thru this commitment. I read everyones posts daily and have been inspired by everyone here. Thank you for that...and if there is anyone else out there that is going to be part of Team in Training for the Disney World 1/2 marathon in January let me know!!! Hugs to all of you!!! Michelle

Good for you!!! That is awesome!! I am going to register for the Walk from Obesity help taking place in September, and I am undergoing training now for the 1/2 marathon WALK in January here in Phoenix (www.rnraz.com). There's a couple people in my support groups that will join me on this venture. My goal one day will be to finish a marathon, but I think doing a 1/2 marathon walking is a good start. It's something I always wanted to do. I'll still be overweight in January, but I'll be FIT!! I'm so excited!!! Plus now these charity events have shirt sizes that actually fit. I don't need to cut them up the back and wear an opened-button down shirt over it. LOL The things we have to do sometimes to fit in. Ugh!!! Trisha

Trisha, I was going to sign up for the Rock n Roll marathon on Jan 15th as that was my other choice but my hubby doesnt like to fly and I want him to be there so that is why I picked Florida! That would have been too cool to have met up with you at that one!! What does your training schedule look like? I would love to keep tabs on your training and progress since we are within a week of each other doing the 1/2 marathons!!! Michelle
