7 months to go!

We are down to 7 months until the race. My fund raising is over the half way mark, thankfully! We have 2 events planned presently, an old time dance where we will work the bar and an EE Burritos night, you know the supper, dancing, games and door prize kind of night. Can't wait both sound fun, maybe I'll get in a 7 step or a heel toe! Then salsa! Whooo Hooo!
Training is going to have to pick up as well since the closer we get the more I have to realize that I will have at least 2 really cold months where running will be hard at best. I have Margo and Don's treadmill in the basement but may have to breakdown and join the gym in town as my upper body is suffering, as I'm learning in yoga class. My legs are strong but any upper body movements are really hard. So will look into the gym today. Have a firm commitment from Ernie as he did the 10KM on the weekend and found out what shape he was in......... need I say more. Poor guy, but at least he is going to change that. He has committed to going everyday with me, so maybe I'll get him to the gym also.
See ya later.

Hi Babe
Keep on going!!
It is a shame you haven't got an indoor pool around, I have recently found that aquafit in deep water really reaches parts that other fitness doesn't.
Did circuits in the gym today but found the aquafit had left it's mark and found it really hard going today.
Have every faith in you, well done Ernie, all we have to do is get Dave doing something (some hope!!)

You know you can, just think back about 18 months and what you did the month that I went back home and how pleased you were with yourself.
Keep it going my shrinking friend!!
