It's all about.... Hope

I wasn't able to attend the Ballou Skies Team Photo shoot, but it doesn't mean I wasn't there in spirit. This year is a very special year. We've added three great new members to the team (welcome Lisa, Bill & Ben!). We have a renewed strength together and a big goal, no a HUGE goal of raising $100,000 for research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This is pretty lofty, yep, we know.. A majority of us would have never gotten this far if it wasn't for lofty goals and we're not about to stop now :)

To that end, today for Leap Day, we are holding the Ballou Skies Leap Day Donation Drive and Newton Shoe Raffle! A monetary donation of any size received today, will enter your name into a drawing to win one of three pair of Newton running shoes being raffled off! Please share the news, give what you can, and have HOPE!

So don't miss out! This is a great chance to help boys just like Ryan Ballou who has touched my life is such a positive way. Thank you Ryan. I wouldn't be half the athlete I am without being able to ask myself when all is on the line...who am I really in this for? Is it all about me, or is it about doing something that may just allow someone to live another day healthy and happy. Since meeting you..the choice is easy.

Donate today if you have $5.00 to spare or $50.00 every step is a step closer to the goal.

Thank you for your support! With Hope, anything is possible!

It's all Good.

I have lots and lots of news :) Unfortunately, it's either keep working and training and making my coach and clients happy, or write about it here! I can't BELIEVE I'm this busy after saying goodbye to the full time job! Geez! I guess you could call training / coaching / nutrition counseling the full time job and that really does fill up 40 hours (and really, more) quicker than you can say go!

The good news is that its really really hard.. and I love it. I'm so so thankful that I made this decision and that God provided the opportunities to make it happen. Last week was epic in terms of training and I can't wait to have time to write all about it! Hopefully soon!! Training camp in South Carolina with Miss Beth was truly amazing and included lots of adventures and interesting happenings!

I've now relocated to Florida for the next three weeks to train in the sun and see my Mom! It's been fun so far, but the lack of working (and monster training) caught up with me over the weekend so I was left working Friday, Saturday AND Sunday night (the joys of being a small business owner!).

Thanks for the kind comments on the last blog! It's so good to know you can emphasize with the fears and the hopes and everything in between. I'm a lucky girl..

Life is good isn't it!
