It was a week ago tomorrow, that my friend and colleague called and asked if I would join her ACS Relay team as a Chair. Since she's a friend, colleague and happens to be chairing a Relay in a community my company wants to get into, I said yes. Well, during a glass of wine, she tells me "Flug talked me into running the Disney Half Marathon. " (Flug is Jennifer's nickname for the Jennifer who recruited her for this run). And I responded with "OMG, I totally want to do it!" What was I thinking... it was only one glass! After two more however, I was fully committed, to both the run and the committee, and we scheduled our first run the following day!
And our training blog begins here. The team is myself, Jennifer Thompson and Jennifer Flug. This is our team blog where you can read about the trials and tribulations we will overcome in the next five months preparing for the race in January.
However, it's important to note we are actually part of a larger team- Team Burnham. For those of you who may not know, the Burnham Institute is a huge research company out of CA that came to O-Town about a year ago. I would tell you more about the medical breakthrough research they conduct but you can just read about it yourself at: www.burnham.org. What is important though...is we have a fundraising goal to achieve and will be counting on our loyal supporters and readers to help us achieve our goal! (Stay tuned as more information about our goal and where you can donate online is to come).
So here we are the "Terrific Trio" (we need a snazzier name), training to run the Disney Half Marathon...or we'll die trying!
