I completed my first ever walk for charity this morning. It was a 1 mile walk to raise money and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. I set out attempting to raise $150 for it and ended up with $250. Not only that but the team I walked with received an award for being the "most spirited team." Our team leader has MD and she actually got up out of her chair and walked 90% of the way. She made herself to cross the finish line walking no matter what. I'm so amazed by all of the people who were there today.

    It was sooooo much fun. A ton of people showed up and there was a zumba warm up, a martial arts demonstration, face painting, etc. I can hardly wait 'till next year.

    That is amazing. There are walks and runs like that for all kinds of charities. You don't have to wait until next year.

    And maybe next year you will be in a Medium :wink:

    Well, next year for this one specifically. I'm training to do a 5k right now. No clue when and which one it'll be but I'm going to look for a fundraising 5k race this year.

    Hell, maybe I'll be in a small? =X lol I'm just hoping for a Medium though. That would be so awesome!

    Aww. yay! People are starting to post more pics from today.

    Accepting the award. I'm in the back cheesin' it up.
