So it's been awhile...

My apologies.

We were fortunate enough to spend last weekend in San Diego with my parents. The weather was wonderful, and I got to run on Coronado Island - quite fun, really! However, the brief weekend created a rather hectic week. My workload has been quite high lately (for which I am very grateful!), so I was a bit stressed and tired all week.

The last two Saturday long runs have been 4 miles. I have done both runs in under an hour, keeping pace with my goal of 15 minute miles. Like I said before, this past week was quite hectic, which unfortunately did affect running. I only got in one good run on the week. So I was surprised when I still managed yesterday's four miles in 55 minutes.

I went to a fundraising seminar on Tuesday evening. It was full of great ideas. I'm excited to hopefully put some of them to use. First, I am looking for babysitting opportunities to raise some money. Like I've mentioned before (I think), all money that I donate directly gets matched by my company 2:1. So, any cash that I can make is triple valuable. If I can get a couple of $100 babysitting nights (oh, to be so lucky!), I would be very close to my goal! I'm also going to be selling Gold Canyon Candles and Arbonne products. In today's economy I understand if people don't have a lot of excess money lying around. But, if they were going to buy skincare products or candles anyway, maybe they will be willing to buy through the fundraiser. I sure hope so!

As of this morning, I am over halfway to my goal of $3500!! This includes money that Matt and I will be giving as well as my company match money. How exciting! This may actually happen!!!
