Jennifer's New Day Journey

So, I guess this idea all started with me...Jen.  I knew I needed to jump start my life and give it something extra for 2009.  Something I'd never done before and something that had meaning. Something life changing....my friends and I have been talking about life changes a lot recently.  I felt like the Breast Cancer 3-day was the biggest and boldest thing I could do that would change my life and the lives of others.  So...here we are.  Nine months before the event.  Committed. Training.  Or at least beginning to think about the training ahead of me.  Fundraising.  $2300.00 to be exact.  My family thinks I have lost my mind - seeing as I've NEVER been the athletic one and I prefer to do as little as possible and avoid sweating at all costs.  So, this is extreme for me.  But I'm fortunate to have wonderful girlfriends that have agreed to take this journey with me.  We have already begun our fundraising efforts and we will begin some training by participating in a boot camp on Monday and Wednesday mornings...yes, I did type boot camp.  On February 2nd I'd prefer to be warm and snuggly under my electric blanket sleeping away before the alarm (which I hit the snooze bar no less than 4 times before I actually get up), but I'll be getting my butt out of bed at 5am to make it to boot camp.  ugh!  Well, life change is what I wanted and life change is what I'm going to get.  This blog will be our stories along the way as how our bodies, minds and souls are changing.  It will document our journey - I can't wait to begin.
