Game On
Well you know after the Akron Marathon my Runelaltion was born. January à la twenty twelve is here in two weeks (say, what? I know!) which means I just registered for my first 2012 race! Holla!
Let me get straight with you, I’m not really that excited to run outside in January in Ohio. I’m even less thrilled that the race I picked falls on New Years Day. I had a hard time committing because I know that means NYE celebrations will have to be dramatically cut back. On the other hand, I also think it is a great way to kick off Runelation ‘12!
It’s time to get S.E.R.I.O.U.S.
It gets better. My husband totally surprised me with a text that said “I’ll run”. I of course thought I was seeing things and had to send multiple texts confirming he meant he would like to do this 5k with me and not you know run for senator or something. The most athletic thing Adam and I have ever done together was climb the Great Wall this past summer.
I’m pretty much smitten right now.
The race I picked is World Race for Hope: Unite to Stop Human Trafficking. The first race for 2012 is kicking off in Troy, Ohio. Their goal is to raise $100,000 for the Somaly Mam Foundation over the next year by the races they’ve set up in other cities such as New York City and Columbus, OH. You can help them reach their goal by participating in a race near you, be a virtual participant or you can donate to Team Pilchak if you so wish.
January 1st around noon- it’s game on Runelation. I’ll meet you at the starting line.
