In 2012 I will attempt to finish my first marathon, and not just any marathon, the Boston marathon. I will be running for the Melanoma Foundation, a charity that looks at Melaonma with an upstream focus and created to combat the rising rate of melanoma and melanoma deaths. They provide educational programs targeting the prevention and early detection of skin cancer and melanoma for both children and adults! My goal is to raise $10,000 for them, and any amount helps.You can purchase burpees for $50 each, and there is only 351 343 of them available! I will do all the burpees over the course of the marathon, so the more you donate, the more pain I get to endure :) You can also donate for the heck of it, or because you support the cause but not suffering!

First Run to Work

This morning I decided that it was time to begin running more, so my husband packed up our little one and joined me on a run into my work, which is 3 miles on the dot from home. It took us just under 30 minutes which I am happy with considering the stops for lights we had to take and what not. My speed is good for the first portion (maybe the first mile or so) but then I tend to die out.

Evan pushed me to doing up tempo sections which were killer, but really helped me. Although the worst up tempo/sprint we did was up heart break hill, since I work right at the crest of it. At least I will get lots of practice with it! My distance and endurance really need to be worked on, and I'm hoping to hit up my school gym later to do a second workout, Im thinking about CrossFit Bostons workout from yesterday, Cleans, Tabata burpees and a 2K row - although all that depends if I can get the time away from my experiments!
