news...Team In Training

hi again! i did join the world's gym a couple of weeks ago! yeahoo! w/ my joining, i got a personal trainer to take me thru some motions and set me up w/ a card of STUFF to do in a circuit type thing. just some time on the treadmill, on the recumbent, and about 5 weights stations. no biggie. kinda fun. not too much time. not too scary.

she only had me walking 10 mins and riding 10 minutes tho. @ the same time saying cardio is the way to burn the fat (duh). so i just walk 20 and ride 20. i'm sure i'll start jogging too.

THEN, the other nite the Leukemia/Lymphoma Team In Training had an info meeting locally. WELL. i just REALLY wanna do this but $2400???? to raise???? that is DAUNTING to say the least. what say you?

i have till may 20th to 'commit' w/ $75 of my own. the marathon (or 1/2...but i'd be GOING FOR the whole 'thon!) is november 20something. this year. yes. that's six months away. but $2400???? i ask you.

let me know thoughts on this. my concerns are: 1) getting injured again and having to cut WAY back again to almost STOPPING altogether (eeeeeeeeeeeeeek! tho my consolation is that, HECK, i could always WALK the darn thing!); 2) a couple of months ago my dear hubby went to new orleans as a volunteer to help w/ katrina aftermath...and we got donations for that....y'think anyone in our SPHERE would also want to support for THIS cause? i mean, we've had our share of close ones die of leukemia or have a scare w/ it.

okay.. comments por favor!

God Bless your day!

ps: for a few days i thought i broke my toe. then it seemed like it was doing too good to have actually been broken. now, i think again, it was, of course, broken...cuz i still have massive pain and it is still swollen...waxy-looking. ick! it's been wks!

pps: i have a puking daughter today...pls pray for little J.

ppps: did i tell y'all that our wonderful dog BIT MY DAUGHTER (K) in the face on Easter? so we don't have that wonderful dog any more. couldn't be trusted. well, my beautiful daughter now has an xtra 'dimple' thing on her face under her eye. treating w/ mederma right now ($17 a tube!).....nice. thankful she HAS her eye!
