training for 1/2 marathon & need your help!!

 Hi OH family!
I'm sure at some point everyone is going to be sick of my posts, but I'm beseeching all who are on the forum to help me reach a MAJOR goal: I'm training for a 1/2 marathon in December and trying to raise money for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. My husband has had Ulcerative Colitis since 2002 and we've made a commitment to run the Team Challenge Las Vegas Rock & Roll Half-Marathon. If you can support us in spirit, great! If you can support us in a charitable, tax-deductible donation, even better!! Please visit our website to learn our story and to make a donation:   http://www.active.com/donate/gwdcLV12/dcNFarris 

Thank you for your time in reading this post!!!

Mazel Tov and thanks for doing this. You probably already know my hubby and I did the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon last month with Team Challenge. This was our third year. We don't do the Rock and Roll in Vegas because we can only raise that much money once a year. Is this your first year? Team Challenge is the greatest to train with and the halves with them are so much fun. You'll get so much support, and the pre-race dinner the night before is so inspiring. Then you'll get so much support during the race and afterwards.

I wish we could support you but between our fund raising and my cousin doing Take Steps, we've already given a lot to CCFA. We do it for our boys who both have Crohn's.

I hope your husband is doing well. Best of luck to you!

 Yep, it's our first year of Team Challenge. I'm following our training plan today and gonna shoot for running 4 miles without stopping - we'll see how that goes! The hubby's doing ok; after a pretty long & severe flare, he's started on a clinical trial of methotrexate. That'd never been tested on UC before but proven in Crohn's, so we're hopeful that this sends him into remission. Hope your boys are feeling healthy too!!!

Way to go!!! You've already taken the hardest step- signing up!!
