My first blog.....

Dear blog,

These blogs seem like mini public diaries, they're different-I was reading my friend Alexis's blog and Taylor's blog and decided I'd get one. What was the big motivation? Well, I have decided to do the PF Changs Rock in Roll 1/2 Marathon in Phoenix, and I am going to sign up on Saturday with the Team in Training for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I was motivated to do this to show my support not only for people who are affected by these diseases, but specifically for Taylor. Friends/co-workers of mine have two beautiful twin girls, and one the the twins was recently diagnosed with Leukemia at 3 years old! You can visit www.lovingtaylor.com to read about the family. Anyhow, I am really excited to begin this journey of fundraising and training for 13.something miles. I've done one 1/2 marathon, but it was years ago in college, I have been running consistently for awhile now, and can comfortably run at least 6 miles. I should have plenty of time to train, for the race in January. 

So my blog will be talking about training and stuff. It may be boring to read, but who cares, it's my blog!! It's be fun chatting! Blog with you later and please check out the link above!
