Training for a Triathalon - Charity Fundraising

All, If you can believe it...I have been training for a triathlon for the last 12 weeks...the event is August 6 and is the Tri for the Cure which benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The event is a 1/2 mile swim, a 20K(12.4 mile) bike ride and a 5K(3.1 mile) walk (they say run, but I'll be walking...the girls don't run if you know what I mean ) Anyway...I decided that I would raise funds for the charity while I am training. I hope that my posting this doesn't rub anyone the wrong way ...but, if you can spare it...I would love for you to participate in my fundraising. Here is the link: http://www.active.com/donate/triforthecure06/jschaden ...you probably will have to cut and paste it into your address line... Beyond, the whole charity thing...this has been an amazing experience for me. I never would have believed that I would be participating in a triathlon. The event has been a terrific motivator (fear of failure is a huge kick in the ass!! )...and I would encourage anyone to sign up for an event that you never thought you could do...it's been good for my body, my mind and my soul! Thanks in advance! Jen

Wow Jen, I'm very impressed - this makes my little 5K look like a leisurely walk in the park! And, the fact that you're raising funds for a very worthwhile cause makes it all the more inspiring. (The "girls" don't run, huh? Whatever could you mean? ) Be Well, A.J.
