Wow. I've been lazy. No real exercise lately. It's been like 2 week. Granted, I have been walking the dog, but I haven't gone running in a couple weeks. And I really need to get back to it. April 12th is the date that I meet up with my friends I'm running the San Diego Rock N Roll with. We plan to start our group training together. Saturday or Sunday will be the long runs, and the rest of the week, we'll do a few miles. Though I realized that our long runs aren't going to be LONG runs like they have been in the past. So since we are doing the relay and not individually running the full marathon, the long runs probably won't be 10 miles. I think the most one of us will have to run in the race would be about 8 miles. No problem. I can do that! If I can do 13.1 miles, 8 should be easy peasy.
My friend, Sara, is running the Seattle Rock N Roll a few weeks later than my race, and she's doing the FULL. Though she is a crazy marathon runner. For this current race, she's training with Team In Training and raising money for blood cancers. Today she's running like 30 some odd miles for all the people that donated this past week. That's intense. But it's awesome that her friends donated to make her run so far.
Relay For Life is coming up in about a month and a half. I haven't been doing any serious fundraising like I have in the past. I'm kinda tapped out on the whole thing, but I have raised about $400 which isn't too bad. I'm working on redesigning the t-shirts and still haven't had a team meeting. No one ever really responds to the emails I send out. I know that the other teammates are living all over, but it would be nice to know at least that they are getting my emails. Oh well.
Mom is doing well. Her hair has grown back, she's had a couple hair cuts, and now she has just informed me that she can go bra shopping for whatever kind she wants. No more just no underwire. So I think next week we're gonna go take her and get some cute bras. :)
Starting Monday, I'm going to get back on the exercise horse again. I'll have soccer to start it all off with and then I can do my running and strength training the rest of the week in preparation for our group run. Yay! I can do this.

New Adventures
So I've taken on 2 new running adventures. Well, really one's walking and the other running.
The first is the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. It's a 24hr walk here in Mira Mesa/Rancho Penasquitos. And I don't do it alone. My parents have put me in charge of getting a team together for this relay. My mom is really excited to be a part of it since she IS a SURVIVOR. The nice thing is that there's no fundraising minimum. Not that I have a problem with fundraising or anything, but I just finished a big fundraiser for Crohn's & Colitis, that I think it's time to take a break. At least for a while.
Our team name is Purple Cancer Eaters. We've done this relay for a few years now, but we took off last year due to family stuff. So we're back now and I'm in charge. Yay. I love how I get delegated as team captain. But I have recruited a few new people. So far we have a team of 7, which is awesome. And we've raised more than $600 as a team! Go us!
The relay is in May, so there's a few months to try and do a few fundraisers or something.
My other new running adventure is the San Diego Rock N Roll Relay. This one I'm running with friends. Actually 3 of my girlfriends I met during my first half marathon in Napa. Our team name is Running Winnos. We meet up once a month and drink wine and gossip and one of our houses, so the name is fitting. Plus we all ran together, so why not. I think we'll make some fun t-shirts or something like that. This race isn't until the first weekend of June, so there's time to train again. And I have some friends to train with. yay!
I have been keeping up with exercising since TC's Las Vegas Half. Not everyday, but close. Though I have been trying to fit in some strength training. I got a Jillian Michael's video from Netflix and copied it so I could use it on a regular basis. This video totally kicks my ass!! Wow! Though I feel really great after working out. And it's only a 45 minute workout which is perfect. I do it in the morning when I wake up and then I'm starving by the time I'm finished so breakfast is sooo tasty. And I'm hungry more often but it's okay. I'm getting fit. I need to lose 30 lbs. I think I'd be happier 30 lbs lighter. I know I can do it cause I've done it once before on Weight Watchers. But I'm doing things different. I'm watching what I eat AND exercising. I didn't do that before when I had lost the 30lbs. So yay. I can do this. So far I'm 5lbs lighter. I'm prepared for it to be a long process before I get to my goal weight. I gain muscle faster than I lose weight. So here goes...
