Just 20 Days Until I Run The Eugene Half Marathon!!

So my life has lately been filled with running, running and running-of course I still do most of the other stuff too, but because the boys are little, and I because we homeschool I am constantly trying to figure out when The Husband will be home and I can leave the boys with him so that I can go run. It is harder than you'd think to figure out a time when I am going to have  stretch long enough to run 12 miles at a time (which takes about 2 hours). Yes, with no stops- just running, and more running for 2 hours straight. But it works, and I am pretty near the end of my training for this half marathon.

But now I am only 20 days away, I have one last longer run of 9 or 10 miles and then it is all downhill from there up until the Eugene half Marathon on the 2nd of May.

Anyway I would like to ask for your help.  I've done the training and I am going to ask for you to sponsor me- it is for an amazing cause and I would love your support in this. I am running for Team Living Water! There are so many reasons that I will be proud to run wearing my Team Living Water shirt that day, but mainly it is because I 'know' the people that head up Living Water International and they are using every single cent towards a physical and spiritual thirst quenching which will change the world one village and community at a time. I couldn't be more proud.

Watch this video and see what Living Water International is all about:

To sponsor me head to my Running for Team Living Water Fundraiser Page , or you can also get there by clicking the First Giving widget to the right of this blog under the heading Running for Clean Water. That widget is also where you can track my progress as to how much I have raised so far.

I want to thank you all, thank you for watching the video and thank you for your support. This means the world to me. Someday I will go on a well digging trip, the boys have already been begging to go too. When they get a little older and can actually be of help we will go, for now I get to run for them and someday I will meet them.

Remember, Every Dollar Counts:  $1 = clean water for 1 person for 1 year.
