A few months ago I ventured out of my comfort zone and became a part of a fund development committee for a local group that raises money for paediatric needs in the community.
On Sunday we held a walkathon and it was a great success. We raised $58 000! It was so great to be a part of this. I did the warm up for the group and we had lots of goodies for the walkers, along with facepainting, crafts and a teddy bear clinic. IT was a great fall day.
Friday we are having a gala, where I get to dress up and probably sell some lottery tickets. I will be sure to post a pic so you can see my new dress!
Other than that I've gotten the worst throat infection ever! I actually had to call in sick and I never do that (well rarely when I'm really sick :)) I haven't been able to run for over a week and a half and my half marathon is coming just around the corner. Hopefully I can get a long run in soon.
