Sorry, there hasn't been too much to update until now. I started a Survivor Pool at work on Thursday and by Friday night had collected $275 ($110 of which will go towards the walk and will be matched by my company. I'm really hoping to get my official fundraising (not including what's been promised...in other words, what is actually recorded on my 3-day website) to $500 by the middle of March. Then I'll get some special kind of lanyard to wear on the walk. I'm pretty sure I'll make it. Once I get the $110 in and that gets doubled, that will bring the total to $430. Dawn has also promised a weekly donation, which looks to be pretty sizeable seeing as there's 34 weeks 'til the walk! Thanks, Dawn! My sister and I bought some Valentine's candy last night and she's giving that to her cousin, Joey, to give away for donations at work (so as not to completely gouge the people that I work with!). Also, in March, we will be selling Irish potatoes. Not sure how much for how many yet, but I'll post it as soon as we figure it out. I'm also knitting some scarves to sell...they're mostly pink...and very soft. I'll post a picture on here as soon as I get one completely finished.
That's it for the fund-raising so far. As far as the training...well...I'm going to go out and get new sneakers and socks in a few minutes (as soon as I'm done posting this). Official training starts April 23 with a day of rest! Then it's 3 miles 4 times that first week. It increases from there each week. Until then, I'll be working my way back up to 3 miles comfortably...seeing as what seems most comfortable right now is my couch!
Thanks to all who are supporting me in any way they can!
