Found a charity to donate to :)

Above is the link to connect to a website where you can connect to my page to donate to a charity called Tyler's Hope for Dystonia Cure Inc.  It is a non-profit organization committed to funding neurology research to prevent and cure DYT1 Dystonia; while creating awareness of this disorder. Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, which force certain parts of the body into abnormal, sometimes painful, movements or postures. Dystonia can affect any part of the body including the arms and legs, trunk, neck, eyelids, face, or vocal cords.  I am hoping to help raise as much money for this charity as possible and I will also be donating as I continue to run my mileage every day!


Surprisingly on Sunday, the day after the finish of RTO, when I went out for my mile long run it was not near as painful as I was expecting it to be. I was still sore from the hill running and my calves were a little tight but if it wasn't for being out running at 10 pm or that I don't want to re-injure myself, I probably could've gone out for a 3 to 4 mile run.  Then yesterday I went out for my run after I finished swim practice.  I am now running Monday's and Wednesday's with a few girls on the swim team that my swim coach wants me to give them a hard workout running to give them some cross training.  So we only went out for a 2 mile run since they never really run and I didn't want to kill them too bad on their very first day of it! But we did run up and overpass and I made them run up a very small hill 5 times to give them a little bit a hard work :)


So far this adventure has been really fun and I love that it makes me get off my butt for at least 10 minutes everyday, not that I sit down much as it is, but sometimes those lazy days will creep up on you.  I hope you are enjoying it so far and now you'll get to hear from both Liz and me :)
