David Cook is less than $18,000 away from his $1 Million for Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure milestone.
We’re hoping to reach the goal TONIGHT before his benefit concert. Please considering donating to this cause on Giving Tuesday today. https://www.crowdrise.com/dc1million
This is a cause near and dear to my heart that I’ve been involved with since 2009. I’ve run 5 Race for Hope 5Ks over the years and was on ABC2’s LA Marathon team with David in 2012.
Me: I’m off to yoga
T: Must be nice have fun. I need to see you in the downward dog position
Me: haha ya perv
T: Your bum is amazing
Me: Hehe thanks, now I’m blushing at work
I have a 12K on the 13th which has been great motivation for me to run. Plus this current ~60 degree weather isn’t hurting either.
Recap of the last 2 weeks:
11/17 – Treadmill 5k
11/21 – 3 cold outdoor miles
11/24 – 3 outdoor miles with my sister
11/25 – 4.5 Long Beach boardwalk miles
11/27 – 3.5 solo Turkey trot miles
11/30 – 5.5 lovely Mount Vernon Trail miles
5K plans for today after work. I really need to find a January race – a 10 miler would be nice hmmmmmm.
Lunch time yoga! Yay for the semester winding down so I can go!
Boardwalk miles #LongIsland (at Long Beach Boardwalk)
You KNOW it must be cold out when my “high stepping” fitbit friends are “only” logging 60,000 steps per week. Some of my fitbit friends (mainly the city folk without cards) can do ~100,000 a week, so it’s funny to see EVERYONE drop off. This weather is adding further motivation for me to move to California.
$1,000,000 for Brain Cancer Research! | David Cook ‘s Fundraiser on CrowdRise
David Cook has rappelled down a building, run a marathon & 6 5K’s, donated his time & voice, all leading to this. $1 Million for Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure.
I’ve run 5 of those 5Ks with him, in fact his first one inspired me to start running! And I also ran the LA Marathon as part of his team! Please considering this cause near and dear to my heart. I’d love to see David hit $1 Million while he is in DC for his fundraising concert on 12/2.
Today I met one of my students for a meeting at the campus gym and we spent an hour on the treadmills walking and talking. We had a great meeting and logged almost 3 miles!
This afternoon I’m video conferencing in for a presentation with three friends/colleagues at a regional conference in RI. We are presenting on “Fitting In Fitness: Tricks, Tips, and Techniques for Being Healthy Effective Student Affairs Professionals"
The plan is for me to present live via web cam, but lord knows what technology will throw my way, so I filmed this version yesterday and uploaded it youtube as a backup for my colleagues to play if needed. My portion of the presentation consists of "my story” and the 5 domains of Well-Being.
Feel free to check it out (I give tumblr and fitblr major props)
PS – we all decided to wear work out gear for the presentation, hence my shirt

My Garmin from 2010 is on it’s deathbed. I came across this deal and was intrigued. Anyone have opinions on a TomTom Runner?
