I started training this morning for Race for the Cure on Oct. 4. I really shouldn’t have to train for a race that’s only 3 miles, but if I had to pick my third unhealthiest habit (coffee and sugar consumption being one & two), it’s been my total lack of exercise this year. I originally had hoped to run the Bolder Boulder this year, but not even close. It’s not as impressive as running the NYC marathon, but still daunting to me.
Komen Denver is a client, and through my working with them, I’ve gotten to meet Nicole Davis. Nicole was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 25 while she was six-months pregnant. Nicole gave birth to beautiful Abigail on April 4 of this year, who I’ve also been lucky enough to meet. I love talking to Nicole because despite her struggles, she is full of positive energy. It helps me keep my crappy days in perspective because nothing I’m facing is as daunting as breast cancer. Nicole is continuing her fight and will be undergoing her chemo treatments until 2010. I’m helping to captain Nicole’s team.
If you’re around on Oct. 4, I’d love to have you on my team. You can register here and look for the team Beautiful Spirit Walkers. You can also donate on my personal page if you’d like! I’m 20 percent to my goal of raising $500. I also donated that money, but whatevs. I’m hoping I can raise the full amount.
