Training and fundraising, post-Sandy

I didn't workout all week as a result of Sandy. I had done a quick run on Monday night before the storm hit, because I was having a little cabin fever after cooping myself up for 2 days. The storm did not impact me directly, but the loss of life and property is still going up, and it's hard to think about enjoying myself when there are so many others around who are struggling.

I worked from home all week, and was working approximately 10-12 hour days, when i was feeling up to it. I have a sinus infection that I have been attempting to stave off, but it's been a full week of feeling sinus pressure.

I still really wanted to make it out to Saturday practice though. It was the first day that Prospect Park was open, and the first day that we were able to survey the damage.

I still need to fundraise, and I know it is going to be difficult in the aftermath of Sandy, but life doesnt stop and the medicines and treatments for cancer patients are still needed. Please support me and support the cause! http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/berhm10k13/sarahthomas

Yesterday, the team did a 5K+ race in Prospect Park to benefit the park and we got to see the damage up close and personal. The power of Sandy is unimaginable. The team also brought donations for Sandy victims: canned foods, blankets, batteries, and other goods which willbe distributed in BK and Staten Island. I am PROUD to be a part of such an awesome philanthropic group of people. GO TEAM. (Here's a picture from our brunch after the raise, where we had a really helpful group conversation about fundraising.)
