Why ask for
donations?
Because some people have nothing better to do with their money. Just
kidding. ^_^
It's completely shameless and I should not even be asking for it...
But I am anyway.
Skip
this mumbo jumbo and go see the donation button.
If you don't donate
to my cause, then at least make the effort to donate to your own cause
and pick up running yourself. Yes, go out, put on your running shoes/trainers/sneakers
and go. Just go. You'll probably start strong the first 10 yards and
then get tired after only a minute or two of running. That's ok. It's
your first day and everyone starts at the beginning. Even if you think
you were athletic, if you have not done any physical activity (cardio)
recently, then this running thing will feel odd.
Anyway, if
you cannot spare a buck, that's cool, but please spare 10 minutes
of your time and go outside to run.If you can spare the
$ and can also spare 10 minutes to go run, even better. Go Run.
I caught the marathon
"bug" after being nagged by my big sis to join her with
running. My first "long distance" run was actually a 5K
(e.g., 3.1 miles). My next big run was a 10K. I did a couple of those
until my sis told me to run a marathon. I said, "No way!"
so she convinced me to run a "half-marathon" and I obliged.
That was in 2004. Two marathons later, I'm currently training for the San Diego Marathon which will
be held on June 3, 2007.
