Fundraisin' for Bermuda! T-shirt Fundraiser and Happy Hour!

You could be one of my proud sponsors in the 20-miler Bermuda Triangle Challenge, Jan 2013! Buy this custom-designed shirt -- it's only $25 and funds raised go to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

CHECK IT OUT!: http://bit.ly/TShirtOrderForm. SERIOUSLY! Check it out!

The first order goes in on 11/26 night, and I hope your shirt order will make it with the cut! I'm also doing a Happy Hour with two other TNTers in 2 weeks, and we're raffling off some items, such as gift certificates and other items. Can't wait!

I'm proud of how much I have been able to run recently, though I have to take it a little easy after a bad soccer sprain, I'm hoping to be back on my feet in a week!

Missing workouts!

It's been a rough week so far as I'm in the middle of our major conference week "Ad:Tech".  It's long days of meeting with clients and other industry folks, and in some cases, getting into deep product and roadmap conversations.  I ran on Saturday in the 5K, and added an extra loop after that, but that was the last time I worked out.  Sunday - Wednesday have been a wash, and today was supposed to be a group training session, but it's been snowing in NYC like it's nobody's business.  I barely made it out of Javits unscathed by the snow.

Tomorrow I have soccer practice, and it's possible on Friday I'll get a workout in, before Saturday GTS.  Wish me luck, and support the cause, please!!!!

Here's a picture from our 10/27 Brooklyn Bridge team run.  I'm way too happy for 9am on a Saturday, but maybe that's not a bad thing. :)

Stay running,

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.)
