So this weekend we ran 12 miles of hills! It was great! Only once did I want to give up and quit with compared to last year that is a HUGE improvement! I made every excuse possible to walk last year while doing hills and this year i was just powering through =)
So I have met my minimum goal for my fundraising!!! Thank you very very much to everyone who has donated!!! I'm still gonna try to his $2,500 though! I'm having a pancake fundraiser tomorrow but I'm spicing them up a bit with some bacon =) Someone sent me the picture and I figured I had to at least try it out =P
Well I have three weeks left until my race! I'm getting nervous!!!!! I am super ready for it though =) and excited!!!!

BACON PANCAKES!!!

So I made it through comic con and it was awesome! We stayed at Campland on the Bay which was super fun! I dressed up as Rapunzel that Saturday and couldn't go five feet without people stopping me to take my picture, it was pretty fun!
Last weekend we ran 12 miles! Which is the farhtest I will run before my race. I have to say I ran pretty well =) I did 12 miles in two and half hours which is oerfect cause I can easily make it under three hours durring the actual race which is my goal!!! It felt good to run too! I can't believe my race is in four and a half weeks!!! It's coming up fast! But at least I already know I'm readyf or it!!!
Thank you to everyone who has been donating! I'm getting closer to my goal!!!

I made it thorough the ten miles last Saturday! I actually felt like I could do five more! If I had my race tomorrow I be good to go =)
This week we're supposed to do eight miles but it is Comic-Con weekend so finding a safe place t sun could be a little challenging since I'm not familiar with the area. If the place we're staying at seems safe enough I might try to get out and put in a few miles but chances are from Thurday through Sunday I will be putting in at least eight miles of walking a day! I'm so excited!!! I'm dressing up as Rapunzel and a My Little Pony while I'm there, I know it's silly but it's oh so fun and why not!!! I'll post pictures next week =)
Until next week!

Sheesh I am horrible at updating my page in a timely fashion!!! I just want to thank everyone for their donations so far!!! They are so helpful!!! Thank you!!!
I ran my eight miles last week, not so bad. I was a little tired at the end but I stayed strong throughout! This weekend we running 10 miles. I'm a little scared cause last time I did this it was at 10 miles when my old injury flared up. I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again.
I'm putting together my running costume =) My skirt should be arriving shortly and I can paint it and make it into Rapunzel's skirt. And I ordered my shoes which should be perfect to tie the whole outfit together. I still need to decide if I want to run the whole race with my five foot long braid or not...I might have to do a test run with it to see if it's too much!
Thanks for reading! I'll let you know how the 10 miles goes next week!

So I survived Disneyland and running seven miles. At the end of the day I was the only one not complaining about hurting and being exhausted. I guess my stamina has really gotten stronger! We'll see this weekend, I have eight miles or 120 minutes to run. And looking at it, I run a twelve minute pace so that means 12 miles. That's almost my entire race! We'll see how that goes! Thanks for following! I'll let you know how the weekend goes!

So I am going into my sixth week of training!!! We're running seven miles on Saturday! I can't believe we're putting in that mileage already! It feels great though! I am also going to Disneyland on Saturday and last time I went I ended up walking seven miles, so I will be putting in a good fourteen miles. It'll be fun though, maybe I'll run into Rapunzel =)
I wanted to post this poster that some artist friends of mine helped me make. We were asked to make a poster of someone to inspire us to run and fundraise. My poster is for Clem. I currently work on Transformers: Prime, but before I was permanently on the show I helped out on G.I. Joe: Renegades. Sadly the character designer who created the look and style of all the characters in the show, passed away from cancer last December. His name was Clement Sauve aka Clem. He was amazingly talented and donated a lot to my fundraising last year. So this year I am running for Clem! And here you get to see the awesome characters he came up with!
Okay that's all for now! I'll let you know how my fourteen-mile day goes next week!

Hey everyone!!! So I am back again for my second year of training for and running the Disneyland Half Marathon! I am training as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training and am fundraising again.
All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure! If you are able please donate what you can and if not feel free to leave some notes of encouragement, I will need them for the upcoming training season and grueling 13.1 miles of racing.
I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
