Aussie’s would *love* to train in 25+ degree weather … anything less than ~30 degrees is a great day down under

Thanks again for help! I am hoping words can get out through this as well and will bring in some much needed help with the massive amount of funds to raise! I still have about $600 at home form various friends that need to be mailed in – so i am reaching my goal – SLOWLY – but it will be done! Oddly enough someone found my blog through Buzz Bishop’s blog a few weeks back and contacted me wanting to donate – how great is the internet! I am also in the process of doing a massive bottle drive – 3 trips to the bottle depot – and i am already up $60! not bad for empty cans & bottles!

I am having a difficult time training – it really is a lot harder then i thought – so i will be signing up for the half marathon clinic at the running room this fall – and the full marathon a few weeks after that is over. one step at a time.. i cant wait for the cooler weather – really.. who wants to train in 25+ degree weather

Thanks so much for highlighting my contest, and my pledge goals! I’m looking forward to raising (and surpassing my goal of) $4500. Hopefully with a few creative events, and a couple of corporate sponsors, my goal will be achieved!

Oh, and the whole training part? Freekin’ hard! Phew. I have new respect for long distance runners. Wow.

This is awesome, Rebecca!

I’ve volunteered to auction myself in case Tanya does a boy’s auction! All in hopes that there is more funding for diabetes-related research. I lost my Grandpa to diabetes, and two of my uncles are currently afflicted by the disease.
