Picking a Race

So I decided the best way to motivate me to get my butt in gear was to pick a race to run in. Well I have known all along that I want to participate in some sort of fundraiser for a cause I believe in. Then I found the perfect cause with the perfect location and the most imperfect timing: The Race to Wrigley. For those of you who live under a rock, Wrigley refers to Wrigley field home of the Chicago Cubs and my favorite baseball team. It is a fundraiser for Children's Memorial Hospital and you get to run inside the stadium. GRRRR why can't I be in better shape. The race is in the middle of April and I still can't run a without feeling I am going to die. So I will have to hold onto it as a goal for next year. In the meantime I did find a good jumping off point to get me going. I am going to due the Children's Memorial 5K Run/Walk in June. The goal being to run it with the fall back of being able to walk. If I don't make the run I will be finding another race and another cause. Lord I hope I make it.
