My first non-post-run entry!

I did not run yesterday.  I slept in before work, instead, and they we had things to do after work and I got home much too late to run.  I did not walk today... I slept in again, and then went to the race expo for tomorrow's run.  That's okay! I feel like I'm ready and am excited to go tomorrow and finish my first 5K. As actor David James Elliott said, "Every time I go out there, I win.  Every time I finish the task that I've set before myself, I win again."


I also did something really exciting yesterday!  I signed up for next year's half-marathon through the American Cancer Society DetermiNation program.  I have said here that I was planning to do that, but I was thrilled when I actually got to register for it.  I was the first  registrant - probably because most people are thinking about this weekend's race, not the one in 365 days. I will be running my first half-marathon on Sunday, October 14, 2012.  If you'd like to read more about DetermiNation you can go to my personal page, here.  


I will be fundraising in may different ways to reach my goal for next year's race, but if anyone is inclined to donate to the ACS in support of my run tomorrow, gifts to my DetermiNation fund, at the link above, would be most welcome and appreciated.


I'll write tomorrow to report on my very first 5K.  Here I go!
