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

SLAINTE!

Tomorrow the March 5K is upon us! The weather is looking great, sunny w/ high of 50, perfect running temp! Anything would beat the pouring rain and 28 degree weather of last year but this is pretty ideal :)

Emily, Carrie and Grant are on their way to Boston, they decided to join me on this run and to participate in the pre and post festivities that Southie has to offer during their favorite weekend of the year. Looking forward to having the company this go round, I'll need the added support as I mount the Broadway hill two times tomorrow morning haha eeeek!

This month's playlist is super, super awesome, its def my favorite thus far, if these tunes dont get my legs moving not much will. So steal it and jam along with the Hudson Clan tomorrow at 11am as we mount the streets of Southie.
