Updates!

Sean and I went for a run this morning.  We both have something to train for now... he's doing the Tough Mudder race in VT in May.  It's a 10-12 insane obstacle course race designed by British Special Forces.... they run through mud and fire and all this crazy stuff.  He's nuts.  I'll stick with the Boston Marathon thankyouverymuch.

Anyway, we ran.  It was ok... I think my issue so far is being inconsistent.  The first few runs are always miserable.... I mean we only ran 2.5 miles and I had to stop a few times.  I'm getting over a chest cold so that wasn't helping either.  I tried to be positive though.  It's very hard to not hear "what was I thinking" when I'm struggling, but I keep thinking of my goal and how I've trained for marathons before, I can do it again.  I want to be ready for Boston better than I've ever been for any other race.  It's probably the hardest, scariest marathon I've ever done.  The first one was pretty scary, but it was at Disney so who can be scared of that??

The kickoff party for the Miles for Miracles team is Saturday, December 4th.  I originally had to work but thankfully Helen is switching with me so I can go :)  It was important to me that I go, so that I can really feel a part of a team again. 

I also got the name of my patient partner in the mail this week!  If you want, Children's pairs you up with a patient/family that is going through care at the hospital.  The families volunteer, and you can link up and get to know each other, and have a personal connection to your fundraising efforts.  I sent an email a few days ago, so I'm hoping they write back soon.

Ok that's it for now!  Going to see the new Twilight movie with my friends (shhhh!)
