An update....

Well, my training is not going nearly as well as I had hoped, and my team number is dwindling a little bit, but there is still good and hope and there is still the 3 Day and its' amazing cause...which means that there is still The Rack Pack!

So, I need to ramp up my training, get on the fundraising, and make this a priority. I keep thinking about the people battling cancer who have no choice but to make the fight their priority and to get up and get going each day...so really, there is no excuse for my lack of training and devotion to this phenomenal cause.

On my list of un-excusable excuses:
  1. Work...I am there really early in the morning until really late at night sometimes. This leaves little time for long walks and time with the husband. Plus, 95 kids all day every day just makes a gal tired!!
  2. Life...May and June turned out to be insanely busy months for me. My Grandma passed away and that was really tough, school was ending, summer camp was beginning, and life was just very chaotic.
  3. Desire...Walking is boring. There. I said it. I don't like it. It is really boring and I walk kind of slow, so that makes it take longer, which equals a longer period of boredom. This does little for my motivation to get out and hit the pavement. Any suggestions???

Well, I am working on that list and I am working on being a better team captain. It's definitely time to re-commit and get a move on. So, to start out I have set up two fundraising events...get those calendars out and mark these dates:

  • July 13th and 14th -- 2 Days for the 3 Day Garage Sale. If you have ANY items that you would like to donate, please let me know and I will come and pick them up.
  • August 8th -- Homemade Gourmet get together. A nice chunk of the proceeds go directly to my 3 Day Fundraising! Come and have some tasty meals and buy a little kitchen convenience. RSVP to me and come on over at 7!!!

I am hoping that this will be my week...that July will be my month. I am trying to see myself back on track, back on the trail, raising money, and getting the excitement out to my team, my friends, my family, my community, and MYSELF.

Thanks for checking in...drop me a comment, an email, or a call anytime!

Hey Traci - Mom and I are behind you 100%. Whatever you need, let us know. I'll be pulling some stuff together for your "tag sale" as we say up north. Seriously, if there's something you need, we're here.

I love you, Honey, and am proud of you. I know that it gets boring and isn't fun, but I know you can do it!
