muddy buddy training video

[newmouse2008]

Yesterday was a busy day for me. We walked with The Martins for Ferris in the morning and then headed over to SeaWorld for the afternoon.. came home beat and tired....... Good day. I did alittle reading about this muddy buddy thing and came to the conclusion that in my present condition I could not even begin this race....... So, as of today, I am stepping it up a bit. I won't be taking chocolate out of my diet yet, or Dr. Pepper... I will cut back. I have also decided to involve Stella in the walking and Max will be riding his bike with me when I ride. I think we have a good solid 5 months to get ready. The videos will keep coming.. I am enjoying talking as I walk.. I feel like you are all with me.. even thought it makes me look odd.

But Kathy and I need your help!!!! Everytime I look, more money has been given, this really pushes both of us to see this thru. It truely gets me out the door and moving. OK, I am crying right now just thinking about this, but I am sincere. I think about all of the kids who are too sick to get out and moving and I am complaining about how tired I am when I get home from the parks.. and these kids are just happy to be alive and going to the parks with their families and then I look at my kids and I think of the parents and cannot imagine how they feel being able to go to Disney with their kids and forgetting about the hospitals and illness and the worries they all face.

Kathy and I really need everyone to get the word out about the Power of 10 and our little part we are trying to do.I know money is tight, I struggle everyday with my bills and budget, I complain every week how my kids are bleeding me dry and always asking for money.... but, you know what??? I am so happy that they are healthy and can bleed me dry, Happy that we can go to Disney and not have to worry about the unthinkable things that some families are dealing with.



Bottom line???? give if you possibly can and if you can't, give your time or encourage others to.... don't ever think that there is nothing you can do. everyone has something special in them that they can share........
I am attacking my challenge with humor and tears...... so.......
back to "MY WAY"........ I am riding my bike this afternoon..... Who will donate today? Who will show me that you care enough to keep Kathy and I moving forward to our goal of $5000?

I sound like Jerry Lewis on Labor Day.......

have a great day and hug your kids tight.



Love,

T.

Teresa & Kathy,
I am loving your videos & your humor & passion about what you are doing.
I worked as a pediatric oncology nurse for the first 10 years of my nursing career & got to tour Give Kids the World when we came to Orlando once for a conference. We were the first group of nurses ever to tour it & it is such a special place. This cause is such a worthy one & many of my patients got to experience GKTW personally & I always heard wonderful things about their time there.
I will be making a donation to help you guys out for sure!
So many of us will be with you guys in spirit as you train. I was training myself for the WDW 1/2 marathon until I got sidelined by a stress fracture. I am hoping to still be able to do it, but will have to see how I heal. Once I can start walking again, I will be walking along with you in spirit.

T,

You have to stop calling yourself fat. That is so negative. Think positively, you are rubenesque and beautiful.

What??? My bike is less than 1 year old..... If you mean the rattling noise.. that is the ice shaking in my Hydro flask. lol

It sounded like it needed to go to the glue factory!

It is not the age of the bike, it is the style. For the muddy Buddy you should have mountain/hybrid bike. I will have gears and skinny tires and will ride much easier in sand/dirt/grass. I hope you are at least wearing a helmet on your rides.

Just donated. Go get 'em girls!!!!

Made my first donation too, so inspired by what you are doing.

I can recommend a great program to get you going for the run. I started it a few weeks ago and I'm actually enjoying it. It's from Runner's World and is aptly named "Run Your Butt Off". Loved the title so I gave it a try-after 3 weeks my jeans are already looser!!! Nothing hurts either, which is a big deal for those of us with bodies that have been on the planet just a little bit longer than others.
