Hi!

As I think most of you know, I started long distance running a few years ago. I’m still running, but doing something a little differently this time: I’ve spent the last several months training for the Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon with the American Cancer Society’s training team. It’s been so much fun, and it’s such a nice change from running all those miles by myself. 

I’m also raising money for ACS, which will go toward cancer research and to programs benefiting cancer patients and their families. If you’d like to donate, I would so appreciate it! Even $5 or $10 helps.
