After a week of staring at the shoes and contemplating whether or not I would really start running I have made the commitment. Yesterday, I attended the Fleet Feet orientation session for their No Boundaries program and surprisingly I am excited to start.
I learned that although Fleet Feet has been around for 24 years this is their first beginners running program. It is led by Shawn Fenty, a biathelete, who specializes in cycling and running. He will be teaching the Chi Walking/Running model of efficient form. Not sure what this is yet, but I'll keep you posted.
There were at least 30 people in the room and I must say, if you are a single male, this class is better than home ec to meet ladies. Out of all of those people I think there were 4 or 5 guys.
Tonight, I officially signed up and also signed up for the Cassidy and Pinkard Colliers Race For Hope Brain Tumor 5K Run/Walk. It is one of the largest fundraisers to benefit the brain tumor community in the US and has raised more than $1 million each of the last two years.
I am asking you to help by supporting my fund-raising efforts with a donation to the RACE FOR HOPE. Of course, it is tax-deductible gift for you itemizers. The most important note is that it will make a difference in the lives of brain tumor patients. You can make your donation online by simply clicking on this link.
Any amount, great or small, helps in the fight. I greatly appreciate your support!
