Running with a raging heart on!

Somehow, I swindled 14 people into running in underwear (some of us in briefs and tighty whiteys!!!) to raise money for The Colon Cancer Alliance! We'll all be wearing this logo (designed by my multi-talented husband) on white wife beater/undershirts!

So far we raised $725 in donations for the Colon Cancer Alliance and that doesn't even include race registration. Not bad considering some of us just wanted an excuse to run in ridiculous attire in public! What I like best about this event is that a few of my teammates have never run a 5k before. I am excited to be part of their first race experience! Woohoo! Go team Heart On!

Marathon Maniacs and Running in Underwear... hopefully in that order!

Yes I'm crazy yes I know this isn't the smartest thing to do yes I know there are risks involved and tragically YES I know that the weather may not cooperate and if they cut the race short due to high temps I won't meet my goal BUT most significantly, I know that I can do this because I want it enough. (...yeah yeah I know insert Debbie Downer disclaimer here.) Soooo if all goes in my favor, I'll qualify for a membership with Marathon Maniacs after completing my 2nd (EVER) marathon this Sunday. I need two marathons within 16 days in order to qualify for a bronze membership. The Lake Placid Marathon and this crazy shit in Penny Pack Park in Philly are a mere 14 days apart. I'd like to be worthy. No time goal whatsoever in this marathon. I'm not that far gone.

Other running news:


So far I have a team of six people who are willing to run in their underwear to raise money for the Colon Cancer Alliance. This 5k race will take place in Long Branch NJ at Pier Village on July 23rd. I look forward to creatively dressing my team. So far, we're thinking tighty whiteys and white wife beaters with an appropriately placed Heart On each pair of underwear! If you'd like to join or support us, please do.
