Mercedes Half-Marathon, Make-A-Wish Dream Team
I have officially joined the Make-A-Wish Dream Team, and we will start training as a group in mid October, but my training begins today. I am going to walk every day!
Here are my two primary goals:
- Raise money for Make-A-Wish. My personal goal is $1310 ($100 per mile)
- Finish the 13.1 mile walk in 4 hours or less on Feb. 14, 2010 (Hey, that’s Valentines Day)
This is the perfect opportunity to raise money for a good cause, occupy my spare time, and aid me in losing the 300 lbs for Talladega.

So, I’ve got a lot of work to do. I don’t have time to sit here and post, nor do I have time to mope and feel sorry for myself, I ‘ve gotta walk.

Wow, what a great idea! So you can try walking just a little more every day and mayb take a walk in the morning and evening to break up the day. Best of luck. Tom and I will look forward to donating to the Make A Wish in your name. –Robin
