I have committed to running the St. Jude 1/2 Marathon here in Memphis on December 6th. I've also signed up to be a St. Jude Hero, to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. At St. Jude, children are treated regardless of a family’s ability to pay so fundraising is essential to continuing the life-saving research and treatment that is done there. I am really excited about it.
A friend of mine from Dallas is also trying to drag me into the Ragner Relay race. It's a 196 mile adventure, 36 legs ran by a team of 12 on October 24 & 25 in Austin, TX. Each runner runs 3 legs ranging from 3 to 8 miles each over a period of 24-hours. Should be fun! I have to make sure that it's doable logistically since I'd have to leave Memphis on Thursday to be ready to race at the crack of dawn on Friday, all the way through Saturday and catch up on some serious sleep on Sunday. And of course my husband would have to be available to watch the kids all weekend.
