Personal Training

I hope everyone's doing well. I have some exciting news! I am now a certified personal trainer!! I'm extremely happy. In September 2009 I decided to get healthy, I never pictured myself almost two years later down 25 pounds and passionate about fitness.

I've run twice this week so far. 6.55km on Sunday with the "run club" I've created and again tonight just under 5km (it was soo humid!) I'm heading to the gym tomorrow after work and have boot camp on Thursday evening, so I'm in very good shape.

My fundraising is slowly coming along. The problem with my generation is we want everything this second. We're not patient people. I'm currently at $1120 which is 32% of my goal. I really want to be raising at least $300 a week. Slowly, but surly it will come.

My next fundraising event is personal training for a cause. Now that I'm certified I will be offering personal training sessions with 100% of the fee going towards my fundraising goal for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you're not able to meet up for a session I will also be designing work out plans. I would love to kick your butt and help end blood cancers! I'm going to try and earn $1000 with this fundraiser. Please contact me if you're interested!

Thanks again for all your support.

It's Tuesday, Tuesday, Karma Tuesday!

Well it's that day of the week again, good karma Tuesday!! It's where I ask for one dollar donations to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's mission to end Blood cancers.

Last Tuesday, my first Karma Tuesday I raised $125. I didn't receive any dollar donations, my donors went above and beyond! The whole point of Karma Tuesday if that together donating something as small as one dollar is will add up and we can kick cancer to the curb!

My goal for today is to raise $20 in dollar donations. I'm really eager to get to 25% of my fundraising goal, which would be $55 more dollars, but I think with your support $20 is very attainable.

As always your support means the world to me and I'm really hoping today's karma Tuesday will be a huge success!

Sunday Run

I love Sunday morning runs. It's a wonderful way to start the day. There wasn't a group training session with team in training this week because of the long weekend, which was fine it was nice to sleep in on Saturday morning. I'm not going to be able to make a bunch of training sessions because of work, so I've started a Sunday morning training session. Right now it's me, my sister and our friend Jenn. I hope they will still be on board when the distances get bigger!

Today I decided I wanted to run 8km. Everyone has a base distance they like to run, and 8km is my base distance. It was warm but overcast, perfect for a run, and I felt great the whole time. At about 2km, I was into it having a great run. I could have probably run further, but I like having people to run with and my sister only wanted to run 5km.

Plans for this week include, Karma Tuesday, dollar donations for good karma! I also have a virtual running fundraiser and online garage/moving sale prepared so watch this space!

Thanks again for all your support!
