In the summer of 2010 my Grampa was diagosed with ALS. A week and 1/2 before Christmas he passed away from complications of the disease. In looking ahead at 2011, I have made it my resolution to run a 5K each month of the year to raise money and awareness for the ALS Association. Every step of the way he is with me and every step of the way we are helping those that will receive the diagnosis this year and/or are currently living with the devastating disease that is ALS. Please donate if you are able by visiting the following link to the Community of Hope Fund page set up in Grampa Hudson's memory. You could donate a small amount each month or a large lump sum for the year, no amount is too small and you can do it when its most convenient for you! http://web.alsa.org/goto/hudsonshoofer

Giddy-Up

So the fund is set up with a goal of $5,000 (gulp), the blog is setup so you can follow my painfully slow progress (haha), and the first 5K date is set (poor Ash has been roped into joining me).

Yesterday was day 1 back at the gym for a 30 minute run. I've reverted back to the 3 min walk warm-up, 2 sets of 8 mins running, 3 mins walking, 3 mins cool-down ... I made it to minute 2 of the second set of 8 before I thought my lungs would explode.

Needless to say mission run a full 5K and quit walking you sally jack-wagon (thank you drill seargant therapy commercial for the greatest non-swear insult ever) is off to a slow start and I have a ways to go to get ready for January 22nd's Fudgsicle 5K.

Tonight is weight training/kickboxing ... bring it!
