added to the pregnancy #2 bucket list: run a...marathon (?!)

You read that right, folks. Not only do I want to lose a few pounds, apparently I want to get in the best shape ever and complete the Oakland Marathon next March! Duly added to the pregnancy #2 bucket list.  Along the way, how 'bout I raise a minimum of $1800 as well? No problem!  I've signed on with Team in Training for a second time (I "ran" the Big Sur Marathon in 2001 with the help of TNT...and raised over $2K) and you can help!  One thing that's changed in the 10+ years since I did this the first time is that each team member now has an online fundraising site, which makes it a lot easier to donate. Check it out, won't you?  And to encourage you to donate a little by November 30th, the first fundraising incentive, by which time I'd like to raise at least $500 (as of today I'm halfway there!), I have a spa gift set to raffle off to anyone who donates by then!  Generously donated by fellow Bay Area Etsian AngelMade, this eco spa gift set includes a Spiced Lavender Foot Scrub Set, a Chai Spice-infused Coconut Oil and a Chai Spice Lip Balm (a $30 value!).


Doesn't that sound nice? Or, if you're not into self-care so much, wouldn't this make a great hostess gift for all those holiday parties you'll be going to next month?  At any rate, you'll get 1 raffle entry for every $25 you donate! The winner will be announced on my other blog on December 1st.

I'm so behind on updating this blog with actual news of the 3 year old variety, but in the spirit of running around and stuff, how about a short video from preschool soccer last month?



More on that and what we did on summer vacation very soon, I promise!
