Merrell

Just bought some new running shoes on black friday! They are by the brand Merrell, which I had actually never heard of until a few weeks ago. Now I am really getting into their brand's vibe! Very natural and optimistic.

Here's a fun commercial I found by the brand:

Team Boomer

This year, as I run for the cause of Cystic Fibrosis, I am raising funds for the Boomer Esiason Foundation. I am doing this by running as part of Team Boomer. What is Team Boomer? This video explains a lot of it:

I became part of Team Boomer by simply creating a firstgiving.com page and pledging that I was going to raise money for the Boomer Esiason Foundation. After I started raising funds I got an email from a Team Boomer coordinator who asked me to fill out some simple paper work. As soon as I raise over $500 I will be able to OFFICIALLY be on Team Boomer and I will even have a Team Boomer uniform to wear on the day of my marathon.

CF Wind Power: A Title

New blog. New purpose. Same Deanna :)

Last time I had a blog on blogspot I was in Seattle, serving federal inmates. Now I am running another marathon, this time in San Diego!

The marathon is on June 3rd and I am super excited to prepare for it. I am excited to raise money for the Boomer Esiason Foundation to raise support for CF research and promoting exercise. I can't wait to sell the tie dye shirts I just made to donate to the Boomer Esiason Foundation.

I am also going to officially be on Team Boomer when I run this race! This includes getting an official "Team Boomer" uniform that I will wear on my race day.

And, most importantly, I am excited to see my lung capacity rise and rise as I train. Very little compares to that joy.

On this blog I will keep my "followers" updated about my training, how fundraising is going, as well as my own personal health. And, of course, I will share all the fun stories and pieces of inspiration along the way.
