Not too bad this Sunday.

Well, I am in much better shape today than I expected to be; I guess the training is working! Last week, when I ran the 10 miles, I could barely walk the following day. Today, I woke up and except for a little muscle aches, I was ready to go! I took today off from training just to give my muscles a break but will probably do some cross training tomorrow in the gym (Maybe swim or bike). We are supposed to get close to a foot of snow tomorrow so that will put the brakes on any outdoor activity I might want to do.

I am wracking my brain on how I am going to meet this $5,000 goal I have committed to am in need of fundraising ideas. Any suggestions? Let's have a contest to see who can come up with the best idea!

Maybe any person who donates a certain amount gets entered into a raffle for 2 tix to Taste (or a signed cookbook, or things like that)? Or maybe if you raise a certain amount of money by a certain day, you will promise to run the race dressed like Katie Holmes, with a little L. Ron Hubbard doll strapped to your back? :)

The Katie Holmes thing is a great idea!

Maybe do a fundraising event for yourself, too, like no-bake bake sale. You could also put up fliers in your building. Maybe Al could do a haircut-a-thon for you. I'd definitely hit up that drrty porpoise, too.

Maybe that girl you work with who does Corporate Sponsorship can get off her lazy ass and get you a corporate sponsor.

Kevin,You are so great. Keep up the good work.

Who's 40? It seems so long ago that you walked into the office with no hair and in the middle of your treatment. It's always a wonder to me that despite all of that you were still willing to help someone else.

We all could take a lesson from that.

Twenty Years and Counting... Many of you here in Massachusetts might not know I am a cancer survivor. In fact, this September will mark twenty years since my non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis. Below is my story. After reading it, please click on over to my fundraising page here and sponsor me for the Harbor to the Bay. For those who lived through it with me, you have heard it all before so you can stop reading now and just donate. In the spring of 2001, I went to the doctor to see what was wrong with me. I hadn't been feeling quite right for a while and just thought I had a sinus infection. My doctor agreed with me and put me on antibiotics. A week later, I had an allergic reaction to the medication and was told to stop taking it. I felt a bit better and so I just went on with my life. After another month, my tonsils started to swell up and my ears plugged up. I went back to the doctor who then decided I had tonsillitis. I was put on another set of antibiotics which I also caus...

Let's Somersize!

We decided to give Suzanne a try. It's a pretty easy diet really. Her concept is you can eat pretty much what you want as long as you combine or don't combine certain foods. For example, you can eat carbs with vegetables or you can eat protein with vegetables but you can't eat protein and carbs together. It has to do with how your body breaks down the different types of foods. You can eat fruit, but only by itself and on an empty stomach (45 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after). She has a list of what she calls "funky foods" that you are supposed to stay away from (white flour, processed sugars, vegetables high in sugar like carrots). At least until you reach your goal weight and then you can treat yourself I guess. The one thing we are refusing to do is cut out caffeine. She wants you to stick to decaf and I won't do it! She eats like a pig. I'm serious, you should see the amount of food she has on her "sample menu." It's ridiculous. She ...
