You're Doing Two Good Things
I was tired this morning, and it took a bit more to get going, but I did it! I made it to the gym for my run.
After lap 17 I notice one of my friends had started walking, so I walked a bit to catch up and see how she's been.
She was curious why I had started running, so I filled her in on teaming up with Amy Grant and her crew to bring in funds for Barefoot Republic for camp scholarships for kids, and how my daughter and I were doing it together --- shared how there's to be a dinner at Amy's farm after the race.
Oh, she was tickled. We talked for a good 12 laps, her more than I, about how Nashville is a great place to live in and among celebrities, and how "down here we don't interfere with their personal life if we should see them out and about. It's just not polite, that's their private time." She shared a good many stories about Amy and Vince, Johnny Cash and others who had crossed her path.
I ended up running my last five laps solo, and when I was done she handed me a $20 and said I was doing two good things, helping these kids go to camp and that I am doing this with my daughter.
She also told me to not forget that she's my friend after I get skinny. 
;)
Now to get that $20 to our fundraiser account. Only $2960 left to reach our goal!
Liora and I teamed up with RunAmyRun to raise funds for 12 kids to go to camp at Barefoot Republic, and we’re raising funds by…running!
I’m a bit nervous, as I’ve never been a runner. It should be interesting to see how we progress.
My goal is to run a 5k in 40min while Miss Liora is going for 20min. Yikes! We will be pushing to our limits, so there will be much resistance I’m sure.
We are counting on you to help keep us motivated! Send us funny messages and put some money behind us!
I’ll keep you updated on our progress, the ups and downs and all arounds.
We are teaming up with a group of people we’ve never met who are also teamed up with RunAmyRun. That’s how pumped we are, we’ll go hang out with strangers to get in shape with. Not that that has ever been hard for me, cause to me no one is a stranger.
OK! Let’s get ready to make this happen! We are counting on you to encourage us and help us raise these funds to send kids to camp in 2020.
With Greatest Love!
