So I finally got my courage together and entered my first 5k - The Komen St Louis Race for the Cure. It will be a big, crowded event, so I doubt much real racing will be going on, but I think it will be a great first event for me.

I'm a little anxious, since I've just barely worked my way up to running that far, and I know that my time will be laughable. But you know, it's a start. And everyone has to start somewhere. And if it takes me 48 minutes, who cares? This time I just want to finish, *then* I'll worry about improving my times.

I hate asking for donations, I've never been fond of asking people for money in any way... but this *is* a fundraiser, and breast cancer is an issue close to my heart. So if you are feeling generous (and even $5 goes a long way!) please stop by my donation page. Thank you so much!
