I need your help! I have set a few tough goals for myself to meet before the end of the year in preparation for running a 10k in the spring. One is to be able to run a 5k in 40 minutes or less and two is running 17 plus km a week. So, to make this a little more fun, I added a new challenge: run 250km by December 31, 2013.
Here's where you come in. I am asking everyone I know to donate 10 cents for every km I run between now and December 31st to the Southfield Church building fund. Yes, you heard that right! Southfield is finally ready to build a home base! I am so excited!

I have spent a lot of time over that last two weeks trying to come up with a fun and creative way to contribute to the building fund. My family and I don't have a lot of money for fluff so, we really don't have anything to give up.
So, what do I have? Baby blankets, funny stories, and running.
My first idea was to sell baby blankets, but I felt guilty asking for money for something I have always given away to celebrate a new life. And well, my comedy relief is really not ready to be taken on the road. So, that leaves running.
Then Pastor Dennis threw down the gauntlet by offering to donate 40 pounds. What a great idea! I can't guarantee I will ever lose weight, but I can run 250km! I will run one kilometer for every $1,000 we need to raise. If 40 people donate 10 cents a km, that's a total of $1,000 raised. That's my goal!
Getting ready run for a building,
Lisa
