Hello! This is my running blog. I have started this blog because I am trying to raise $10,000 for a non-profit organization called Of One Heart. You can read my first post to hear more about this organization. This blog will just tell the story of my training and also of my fundraising. Thanks for reading!

Exciting News!!!

Yay!  Last night I met with my Uncle Brian at The Venue in Standale and we planned out the Euchre Tournament.  So here is the news:
What:  Euchre Tournament
When:  Saturday, March 12, 2011
Time:  12:30pm registration, 1:00pm Start
Where:  The Venue

I am sooo excited to get started, it is a $20 donation and we have room for 80 people!  If anyone is interested or would like to buy a ticket, you can email me at jillgorby@hotmail.com.  I will have the tickets available by Feb. 12 - you will need a ticket to participate.  Registration is at 12:30pm...but feel free to show up before that for lunch.  Happy hour is from 11:30am to 7:00pm, they have $1.50 drafts during this time along with $9.99 all you can eat chicken wings.  During the tournament we will have 3 50/50 raffles as well.

I know I was going to do this on Tuesday, but because of this crazy winter weather, we had to postpone it to Thursday.  Along with me visiting the Hudsonville Winery, I will attempt to go there today to see if they would be willing to do a fundraising project.

Well, this week Tuesday at boot camp we did some repeats, we guessed the distance to be around .65 miles:)  I ran with Don and we finished 5 sets, each one a little faster than the last...our longest time was 5:24, the shortest was 4:55.  Wednesday I went out to shovel the driveway and I was going to run 5 miles after that, but after shoveling all of that snow...I opted out of running, I was whooped!  Yesterday at boot camp we did some running drills, such as skipping, shuffling, high knees, calve raises, planks, and more!  It was definitely a good workout!  Tomorrow I am on schedule
