Fundraisers and Running--these are a few of my favorite things


Today's new activity: signing up for a fundraiser! Students Run Oakland is a youth development program that uses the challenge of training for a marathon to help students develop long-term goals, improve health, and overcome obstacles. The organization builds confidence, resiliency skills, and reinforces the value of commitment and hard work. The students are raising funds to support their training, registration for marathons, and to expand the program. The fundraiser will take place in 2 weeks and will include the screening of a documentary film (Runners High) that explores the journey of three students training for the LA marathon. So I made a donation, will attend the fundraiser, see an inspirational film, and get to eat good food. Not shabby! For anyone in the Bay Area who may be interested, you can find out more at www.sroakland.org.

Oh, and I totally went back to Mike's spin class tonight. I'm clearly too distracted by his hunkiness to realize how much he's making me hurt!
