How crazy am I?

Not only am I doing a 5K in March but now I've started a team for the Susan G Komen Cancer walk/run on May 12th. My goal was to complete a 5K this year and now I've committed to 2. I actually feel my soul is more at peace with this. It's not a feeling I've had in a long time.

My Mother passed away on Mother's day 1994. I was only 14 years old when she passed. It's hard every year around that time, but am so blessed at the support I have from my family members including my Step Mother Norine, who pretty much took a broken home and made it whole again. So breast cancer awareness is something I'm an advocate of. It's truly my honor to walk in the memory of my mother and inspire others to either join with me or donate for the cure.

I feel a sense of pride that I'm getting up and moving and commiting to these things.

Jan 2012 wrap up

Well not what I wanted to lose but a loss is a loss. In January I managed to get through the holidays, get a promotion at work, take on extra work until a replacement is hired for my current position, and on top of that... my birthday on the 23rd which is always a weekend long event.

I'd say with all of that going on and still at a 3 lb loss for the month... I'LL TAKE IT!

Now come on nice weather! I've signed up for a 5K (purpleday5K.com) for March 24th. This means I need to start training for this. This will be my first 5K ever. Yes, I am walking but as a great motivational push my cousin Jen posted to me... It doesn't matter how fast you run you are still doing laps around those on the couch. I've decided to start a scrapbook for just all my events I participate in and maybe someday when I am blessed with a child they will be proud that their momma didn't just lay down and die.
