Stoneman Elementary's Cake Walk Fundraiser!

With race day only a few weeks away, I'm gearing up for the 13.1 miles!!

This weekend was the Nike Preview run through Golden Gate Park and along the Great Highway. San Francisco's foggy morning weather makes for some cool running conditions, which I definitely appreciated during my 11 miles!

Fundraising is also coming along, especially with the help of my school's Cake Walk Fundraiser! Many of the teachers and staff contributed tasty treats and raised over $250 for the Cake Walk! I am so grateful to my colleagues for their contributions in supporting me!

Go Stoneman!

FUNraising time!

Training is going well, and I'm enjoying the variety of weekend runs around the Bay Area! 8 miles- whoo hoo!!!

I will be having a fundraiser on Wednesday, August 19th! As many of you know, I'm a waitress at Primo's in Danville, and I'll be donating all my tips to LLS this night. Plus, our bartender will be donating his tips on my behalf! I'm hoping for a good turnout from friends, in addition to my "regulars!" Happy Hour is from 5-6pm, kids eat free on Wednesdays and there will be free face painting too! Come Out!

Training.. it keeps you runnin'!

Back in California, my training schedule is up and running with weekly track workouts and buddy runs. Plus, our Saturday runs are up to 6 miles! I had a little catch up to do with my trip to Alaska, but I think all the hiking counted for some definite cross training.

I want to sincerely thank those of you that have supported me with your generous donations and words of encouragement!

Happy Summer and keep the good cheer coming!
