What's Going On These Days?

~On December 29th, we're having a fundraiser night at Orange Leaf Stillwater! 10% of sales from 6pm - 9pm will go to Team in Training. Join us!!

~Need a tax write off? Coincidentally, I need to raise money by December 31st. You can donate here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/starwr15/knealf

~My sister-in-law donated a lovely scarf which I then forgot to take with me to the raffle event. The next person who donates at least $10 through the websiste gets a bonus scarf!! (here's the link if you need it: http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/starwr15/knealf)

~The 46 people on my TNT Flex Team for the Star Wars Half have donated $98,010, and our fundraising deadline isn't until next week. Go Team! Check out my amazing teammates: http://pages.teamintraining.org/ho/starwr15 I just found this page and I love it! It shows all of my teammates, with links to our individual teams. Spoiler alert- they're all faster than me.

~I think I've run 150 miles training. Woohoo! In September I didn't run at all. Now I'm a "runner". I'm so proud of me.

~While many of my Teammates are completing the Rebel Challenge (10K on Saturday, half marathon on Sunday), I'm just training to complete my race in the time limit. 13.1 miles? No big thing. 13.1 miles in 3.5 hours? Bit of a problem. Who cares? If the slow bus picks me up, I'm still faster than everyone on the couch.

Which Park is Best?

Which park is better is the golden ticket, meaning of life, $64,000 question and I have the definitive answer for you. The answer is.... Yes. All of the Disney Parks are best. All of them. They're all wonderful in their own way. They all have their downsides too. But they're all wonderful. Disneyland (DLR) and Disney California Adventure (DCA)Parks in Anaheim California: -I love Disneyland. It opened in 1955 and you can practically still feel Walt walking through the park with you. -It's small. Both parks combined are something like 1 square mile (Florida is 47 square miles). Yes, you can see the Matterhorn from anywhere in DLR, you can see Thunder Mountain from Pirates of the Caribbean. It's ok. Really it is. -You can stay off property and walk to the parks. The resort hotels in CA are ridiculously expensive. Like a cheap room is $350. No thanks. Stay literally across the street for $160 and get free waffles out of the deal. I was a WDW snob and I didn...

Ten Things Harder Than Making a Donation to LLS

Making a donation to Team in Training and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is incredibly easy. Here's the link: http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/starwr15/knealf Here are 10 things that are harder. 1. Leukemia. 2. Hearing your child has leukemia. 3. Watching a sweet girl battle leukemia. Check out Ainsley Jane's Allies on Facebook. Also Fight Like A Princess. I don't know Princess Rheann, but I've met Ainsley and her family. 4. Watching Ainsley's family battle leukemia with her. 5. Climbing a tree. I met Ainsley a few weeks ago. She was having a great day, and she played and climbed in a tree. Totally easy for her. Still harder than making a donation at http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/starwr15/knealf 6. Watching a friend's brother die from a blood cancer. 7. Cancer in general. Research funded by The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has led to improvements in treatments for other cancers...
