meganursulaWell, its been a while since i bugged folks about this, and its time to do so again:
I made a team for Race for the Cure again - I chose the team name Nepeta Runaria... just to be interesting. Nepeta
Cataria is the latin name for catnip, so i figure this includes both a
kitty reference (my running group is the Soggy City Kitties), and, well, runners nip? There is more info about the race in the email quoted below.
As usual, i encourage everyone to sign up to run, walk, or at least donate to one of your friends. I've already got a couple of wonderful folks on my team. If you're thinking about signing up, why not do so today? Make the commitment, and encourage me to get my butt together to think about planning a waffle breakfast afterwards.
One of the reasons i do this is to encourage my community to get active (phsyically and in their community), and also to do some interesting activity together. Surely you want to participate in that?!
Not sure you can run a 5K? You can! Try following a schedule like the following:

On Sunday, June 7, 2009, I will participate in the Susan G. Komen Puget
Sound Race for the Cure® in Seattle. I would be honored and
inspired to have you on my team.
As a top rated non-profit, 75 percent of the Puget Sound
Affiliate's net income remains in the local community to fund
educational outreach, screening and treatment programs for underserved
women in Western Washington and the remaining net income supports the
global search for a cure.
By running or walking in the Race, we can model the healthy choices
important in combating cancer. Most importantly your smile and
support provides the personal momentum needed to achieve the Susan G.
Komen vision of a world without breast cancer. Every step in this race
counts.
