Interview with Me!

How is your training going? Very good! I am feeling strong and enjoying the clinic I am taking. However, my hip is sore. I went to the chiropractor the other week and he gave me some stretches to do. However, this went in one ear and out another and my hip is still bothering me…so I’m TRYING to be better at taking the time to do the stretches he showed me. I’m also thinking I might book a couple more appointments with him. I don’t want to get injured this early on!!!

What is the one song that makes you really fast? Anything by Rage Against the Machine…I know it’s not a band played on KOOL but there is something about them that makes me feel powerful…and ANGRY!!! I also love the new Black Eyed Peas CD “The E.N.D”—here are some great running songs on there…OH and Kings of Leon too!!!

What do you think of when you are running? Everything. Seriously, I think about things that annoy me, things that make me happy, and things that I have to do. It’ personal therapy, I swear!

Who do you train with? I run with the nice people in my clinic. I also run with Robin Farrell’s BFF Kymm Buckham as she is fast and totally fit and makes me feel like a contestant in the “biggest loser”…but in a good way! It’s like having a personal running trainer!! I also enjoy running on my own on cranky days!!

How do you reward yourself? NOODLE BOX!!!! And a glass or two of red wine…tee hee….

Fundraising Ideas

I've been thinking of some fundraising ideas that you can do at the office—without a lot of costs and that can be a bunch of fun!

• 50/50
• bake sale
• potluck
• BBQ
• garage sale
• gift exchanges

Plus, these could be a good way to get your co-workers together for some fun!

Hope that helps!

Happy Training!
