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

In like a Lamb ... please?

After an overnight with the nephews, a weekend in Nantucket, a weekend conference etc I am back in action. I will admit that my training efforts have been lackluster since my last race on February 12th.

That all changes today. I'll be back on the treadmill multiple times this week to get back in training mode for March 20th. Emily and Grant will be running with me and I have forewarned them of the hills so I need to incorporate some hill training in my runs over the next 2 weeks.

Also as of next Monday Fitcorp is running the Ultimate Slimdown program and I will be competing against my coworkers and lots of other people I don't know to win a free year long membership to the gym by losing the most. I enjoy healthy competition, can you tell?

So check over the next 2 weeks for training updates and race additions because I need to add some spring runs to the portfolio. If you have any suggestions they are welcome.

And don't forget to visit the fund page by clicking on the link to the right and making a donation for ALS!
