8 week Biggest Loser-type challenge fundraiser!

Do a search for it on Facebook: TNT Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge
I'm super excited to get it started! There's still a few weeks to join the group. Joining, however, does not automatically sign you up for the challenge, so you can join the group & check it out before committing to it. :)
It's $25 to join, with $15 going to my fundraising & $10 going into the pot. The person with the highest percentage of weight loss after the 8 weeks ins the pot. The more people to join, the bigger the pot! :)

Well, it's official

My teammate, Jess, & I have switched to the Detroit Free Press 1/2 Marathon in Detroit. Time has been flying by & we're just not bringing in the donations like we had hoped. :/ I'm really bummed about it but there's always next year for San Francisco. At least with Detroit being so close to my house, I can have my husband bring up the kids (well, maybe just the 3 year old) to cheer me on.

Toe update: OWWW! I've been soaking it in Epsom salt baths. However, on Sunday, I was clipping the nail back even more & must have knicked the blister, causing it to pop. So now it's not all purple but the nail is cloudy (does this mean I'm going to lose it???) & it HURTS. The only time it doesn't hurt is when I have band aids on it but I try to air it out for a little bit each day. And then that's when it kills. Pffft.
Oh & I have shin splints. They hurt. Of course, they're worse in my right leg (the same side as THE toe). I've been scouring the interwebz & found a leg ice wrap I like so I'll be ordering that to put on for after my runs.

More fundraisers on the horizon!

Hopefully this week, I'll receive a shipment of 100 assorted Bondi Band headbands. My 1st one was purchased from another Mom who is involved with TNT & was selling them as a fundraiser. They ROCK! Seriously. They're lightweight & wick sweat away nicely. Plus, they have fun sayings on them. :) I may have to buy a few more from my fundraising stash!
Once I return from Texas (mid-June), I'll be doing a Little Caesar pizza kit fundraiser. Of course, this is only for people in my area, but my husband is super excited. In fact, I mainly did this for him- he LOVES the pizza kits!
My other fundraiser (also local) will be a pole dancing class, sometime in July or August. Apparently things pick up during the summer since it's bachelorette party season, so I'm letting the studio owner figure out when works best for her. :) I'm sorta super excited about that one!
And, of course, I have my letters to send out. I think I have my letter pretty much set- just have to address the envelopes & send them out. I'm scared. I seriously hate asking people for money & I'm nervous to send them out to all these people who I haven't spoken with in ages. I think I'm just nervous that they'll either be like "Who the heck is this person & WHY does she want my money?!" or "I haven't seen/talked to her in ages! Who does she think she is, hitting me up for money?!". I have to keep reminding myself that it's not like I'll see them when they open the letter, so I just have to push it all from my mind.
