In September I will be running in a 190 mile, 24 hour, 12 member-team relay from San Francisco to Calistoga. It's called the Ragnar Relay and all proceeds will go to benefit the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Each teammember will run 3 legs each, the legs being anywhere from 3-8 miles (depending on the individual's level). Each member is required to raise $1,000 dollars or more for their run. It is a competitive run where we'll face off against other teams. However, it will be fun and exciting as we race through California's beautiful countryside. And the important thing is the cause for which we are running! We each have personal pages on the Greater Than One endurance webpage and I have linked mine below! I'm very excited to be a part of this. It's going to be intense. All of the info for sponsoring me is on the page linked below and if any of you Festers feel so inclined to donate, every single penny is better than nothing in the fight against AIDS. I hope this doesn't sound preachy at all, but every little cent helps! Thanks ya'll! http://www.tofighthiv.org/site/TR/Great ... fr_id=1430

That's awesome, both the cause and the running. Danielle and I are trying to do at least 15 minutes of biking or walking a day, get out of our rut. Come back to GNV soon!
I will see if we can toss a few bucks your way after rent and stuff gets paid next week.

Ellison! Thank you so much for the donation! I couldn't figure out who it was. Thank you, thank you!
Philip, I will most likely be at Fest. I gotta come hang at your house again and drink one of your incredible brews. I look forward to seeing you bud.

You're more than welcome! I'm trying to get as free with throwing $10 at the occasional good cause as I am cute earrings at World Market. Good luck!
