I know in my last post - nearly two months ago! - I said I'd do the 10K with Laurie in May, but I didn't yet know what it meant to be working at an INGO during an emergency as devastating as the earthquake in Haiti as part of a fundraising and communications team, in addition to prepping for the busiest time of the year for the organization (before the emergency!) AND co-producing our second annual V-Day in the Capital event.
I've spent the last two months working longer hours, attending many third party fundraisers, running information tables, travelling, and prepping for International Women's Day and haven't had a chance to rest properly, let alone train! Prepping V-Day has taken a lot of time as well with a fabulous team of like-minded women, but this has left little time for anything slightly resembling a schedule.
Don't get me wrong - it's been so busy - but it's also been incredibly satisfying to be putting this much effort into such an amazing organization. It's also been incredible to see the outpouring of support of so many people who want to help and contribute to some amazing causes.
Given all that....
I propose....I still train for the 10K....but will be completely happy if it ends up being the 5K first. It was for a good cause right?
So who can recommend some good running shoes?
