I'll try again

[planet]

I did try this a while back, but had no takers. I know I like to keep a lot of details about myself to myself, but I really am a rather normal gal who happens to have married a rather normal dude that decided to become a doctor. Now, of course, we're both totally nuts, but hey, hats of to anyone who makes it through this process without picking up some behavioral disorders.

I think an iMSN race would be FUN. This is a great group. We're at all stages of fitness, but who can deny that we all want to be more fit? I'll bet there's a marathon/half-marathon/5 K day out there that could serve as a goal to keep us motivated and committed to working out. It would also shame some of us (um, me) into staying on track for fear of crawling over the finish line. Ooh, and think of the postrace party we could have!

There are always good deals on flights to Florida and Vegas so that would be my suggestion (mid winter those places have a lot of appeal too )

Oh yeah, t-shirts are what it is all about! Glory!

I actually just got a flyer in the mail from a charity I donate to regularly, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. (My uncle passed away from Hodgkin's Disease a few years ago, so it means a lot to me!) There is a Rock N' Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach in September.
That's probably too soon but they have stuff like that going on all the time. Anyone else have an idea? I'd definitely like to support a good cause at the same time!

Stella,

I found the TNT fundraising amounts to be way too intimidating, but dayisme just did her fundraising tri! I am actually looking at the half marathon in Orlando in January. I don't know what the t-shirts look like.

Don't forget we have the Fiesta stuff- I know there's at least one 10k and one 5k. and it's Fiesta! Margaritas and warm weather? (the last two weeks of April. http://www.fiesta-sa.org)

So... I looked at the Disney race and saw that it costs a fortune($100 for full, $90 for half marathon)! I thought I would look for something smaller and close to home. Then I mentioned it to dh and he said I should go...

alone...

we would find a way to afford it (plane, race, hotel)...

he would change his schedule to watch the kids while I am gone...

should I be looking for body snatchers??

edited to add: He knows I won't spend that kind of money, so I guess it's a safe offer!

Annie,

You are driving distance from me (though a long drive). You get slack for *just* having had a baby , but if you want to do a 5K in the fall I could head over for a day. Yeah, well, for a race that has nice t-shirts, naturally.
