Begging Again

Date November 21, 2009

Today, I ran 8 miles. Yes, that’s right – 8 miles.

You can read about it over at the running blog.

Listen, I am still running, I am still not smoking, I’m still training for half marathon, and I still need your help with contributions.

On November 10th I filled out my re-commitment forms and mailed them to headquarters. What does that mean you ask? It means I am really going to do this thing. It means I have had several months to back out. I have had several months to say, “forget this and I’m going back to smoking cigarettes.” Well, those several months have come and gone for me to come to my senses, change my mind, and back out. I am now in this thing for real.

It also means that if I don’t come up with my goal of $1,800.00 through fundraising that it will come out of my own pocket. Right now I am at 57% of my goal. What can you do to help? Well any amount will be helpful of course. You could also help spread the word and my website where they can easily (and safely) contribute online.

See the button on the far right side bar, all the way at the top that reads, “Team in Training, I’m in Training” badge? Yeah, you can click on that button and it will take you to my Team in Training donation page. It is over there that I also update a blog from time to time, catching everyone up on my training.

Anyway, I’ll be doing a lot more of this asking for help sort of thing between now and January 28th. :-)


Who is c.a. Marks you ask?  Running my first ever half marathon on February 14, 2010 in Birmingham, Alabama. All fundraising benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click on the Team in Training graphic above.
