That nap did not seem long enough!! Honestly, we weren't thrilled to go - we even took a cab instead of walking the cruel 10 blocks there. But once we got there - we were so glad. Most of our group made it, where we enjoyed a tasty little dinner, including well deserved ice cream! HA!
They already had a great slide show from the day! Then, came the dancing. Yes, you heard me right - dancing! They encourage you to dance to help keep the lactic acid moving in your body. We were at the back of the room (closer to the door), so we created our own dance floor! My grandmother, Honey joined several of us for the Electric Slide. I couldn't believe how right they are - dancing actually helped the pain. Speaking of pain, here's a great marathon saying, "Pain is weakness leaving your body!" AMEN!!
We decided to cut out early. We were asleep by 8:30pm! A well-deserved 8:30pm!!
Welcome to the Team WillDu Blogspot!!
We are SO excited to be participating the in the 2007 Nike Women's Marathon benefitting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! The marathon is Sunday, October 21st in San Francisco. We're commited to walking the 26.2 mile course & to raising $26,200!! That's $1000 per mile!
The training & fundraising is off to a great start! We are just so honored & exciting to do this in honor of our friend Sara Swanner Northwood's nephew, Stephen Swanner, Jr. In June of 2004, he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). After successful chemotherapy, he went into remission this February. He will get to play football in the fall - his SENIOR YEAR!!
