With renewed drive and very little time...
Earlier this year, I committed to raising funds and running in a half-marathon on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the help of Team in Training. What I didn’t realize at the time was how much my life would change throughout the course of training.
My coaches, mentors, and new friends in TNT helped me realize that I have an inner strength that I didn’t necessarily...

We're going to be eating good tonight!
I’m am so excited about my first fundraising event this evening at South City Kitchen in Vinings! I feel confident that it’s going to be a success. We will be taking lots of pictures tonight and I will post them soon thereafter.
I look forward to seeing all of you that can make it out tonight just as much as I look forward to the fried green tomatoes! (that’s a lot)
If you want...
I smell a bake sale coming on!
My darling, thoughtful boyfriend (who is apparently a very good listener) got me a super fancy stand mixer for my birthday. I’ll be able to crank out baked goods with the greatest of ease! I’d like to put together a bake sale to get a little more fundraising bucks. If anyone has ideas on where we could do a bake sale (and if anyone would like to join me) please let me know. Any...

Beyond Motivation
This is hard. I expected it to be a challenge, but I definitely underestimated it: running miles a day in the hot, humid Atlanta weather; getting up to train after working late nights; trying to rehab my injured knee (turns out I have Runner’s Knee, but it’s getting better!); fundraising; dealing with waves of emotion. I could go on…
But you know what’s harder? Knowing...
Run Sarah, Run for a Cure!
As some of you know, I am training for a half-marathon. Before now, I’ve never run more than a mile and that was only because I was being graded. I am definitely an active person, but running an endurance event was never some I imagined myself doing.
Here’s the thing… I’m not doing this for me. I found an amazing organization called Team in Training which is a branch of...
