32 weeks and counting...

Yes, the countdown is officially on.  With the start of a new year comes a new countdown -- 32 weeks until the Susan G Komen 3-Day for a Cure! To go along with the countdown is a renewed training period. Although the "official" 3-Day training starts Feb. 27 (24 weeks), Stef and I have started our own training, focusing on strength training and overall conditioning. So it's off to the gym again ... I signed up at Planet Fitness and we're working it....

In addition to the training, we have started our fundraising efforts. We both need to raise $2,300 for the walk -- that's $4,600 total for those keeping track -- and that's a lot of money. There are a ton of ways you can help make a little dent:

• Bottles for Boobies: I took back some cans/bottles before New Year's and put $50 in our fund. If you have some that you'd be willing to donate, let me know -- I'll come get them and make a donation in your honor! Every 10 cents adds up ... and hey, I figure if y'all drink just one beer a day.........
• Basketball for Boobies: We're hosting a fundraiser with the Detroit Pistons -- join us for the game on Wednesday, Jan 12 against the Memphis Grizzlies. Tickets are only $5 a piece (yes, they're in the nosebleeds), with 100% of the proceeds going to the 3-Day for a Cure. If you're interested, let me know and we'll hook you up!

And so it's on ....
