This May 7th, which also so happens to be my 31st birthday, I, and all my teammates will run in the 5K in downtown Las Vegas for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I am EXTREMELY EXCITED about this!! When was the last time I ran a mile? Umm ... about 3.5 years. And I've signed up to run a little over 3 miles? Yep ... I'm a little bit of crazy with a lot of ambition!! :) The LORD is my strength ... He is what's on my mind while I'm running, besides ... "my lungs are burning ... my lungs are burning ... I can do this ... I can do this ... "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," Philippians 4:13 (NKJV).

I need to get prepared and per some friends' suggestions, I have started the C25K Program to help me get ready to run in and support this cause. :) I am currently walking/jogging 1.6 miles in 25 minutes. Not bad. I think what helps is my awesome hubby working alongside me. :) I JUST LOVE THAT MAN!
#2 ... according to the C25K Program, I should be able to run 5K (a little over 3 miles) in nine weeks ... WITHOUT walking or even stopping. I'm hoping so and I am so glad that I started now! :)

Please join us in fighting this fight ... remember, cancer knows no name and we are all just a number. My grandmother and my mother are both Breast Cancer survivors and this is why I am running the race to fight for a cure!!
