The countdown is on...only a few days left before the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

We've are all very, very excited for the Race. Julie and I will be emceeing the kickoff from the main stage. Emily and Brady will be working the start/finish line. Even though I will be sitting on stage for a big chunk of the race, Julie has convinced me to run.

I've actually been in pseudo-training for the race through my Waco Fitness Boot camp. My trainer, Jimmy, says that my stamina has been steadily improving. We ran a 3K in class...BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Somehow Julie was able to talk me into going with her to the boot camp class she attends at our gym. This one is indoors, so I figured it would be a lot easier than running up and down hills pulling a tire...WRONG!!! The class kicked my butt! The first half hour was a lot of aerobic exercise...the biggest challenge was the co-ordination part. As Julie will tell you, I am not the most co-coordinated person in the world. The entire time we're jumping on these little stairs, going from standing upright to down on the floor doing push-ups...I'm thinking, "I'm about to fall and humiliate myself."

It really was a blast. I made it through that portion and the kickboxing class without throwing up...another personal accomplishment. So the countdown is now on...five days until the race! Hope to see you there!
