New Kicks!
On Thursday of this week, I will turn 31 (eek!). To celebrate, my parents came into town this weekend. We had a great time touring Nashville, and they even got to see our in-progress soon-to-be new home. Since they had to leave before my big day, I got to open my presents a little early, and my big present this year was....new running shoes! My previous shoes were Newton's, and I love them. I love them so much, I've worn them out, so these arrived just in time.
I'm excited to give these a try, and especially to sport them for race #40! Stay tuned to see if they help me run faster...

2 Weeks To Go!
We are a little less than 2 weeks away from race day, and we are so excited by all of the support we have received so far.
We gained another Team G Shock runner this week when our friend, Rosemary Radford, decided to join us! We've run with Rosemary before...most recently in our 37th race, which was certainly a memorable one, and we are so excited to have her join us for this race! That brings us up to 5 runners (1 baby along for the ride) so far! We also ordered new shirts for everyone this week, and we can't wait to see how they turn out.
Our fundraising is still going great (thanks to you all)! We are up to 31 donations, which brings us to $1630 for race #40. And that also brings our overall fundraising to $7,495! We are so excited to be inching closer and closer to our total goal of $10,000 and are so thankful to everyone for helping us get this far!

We are 5 weeks away from our 40th race, and are excited about our progress so far! In just one week, we have gained 2 new team members to run with us. Travis Frady and Ashley Kay Hall will be right there with us on the course, and we can't wait to run with them.

Team G Shock Needs YOU!
Just like Uncle Sam always said.
As some of you know, Team G Shock's next race will be our 40th race! We started with a goal to run 10 races and raise $1,500 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation when my Dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in May of 2009. Since that time, we have run 39 races and raised $5,865!
In honor of race #40 we wanted to do something a little different, and get lots of our friends and family (and their friends and family) involved!
We have picked the race we are going to run, and we want YOU to join us! We will be running the Tom King Classic 5k in March, which we ran for our 11th race back in 2010. This race is fun because you get to see yourself on the Titans jumbotron as you finish. Also, its pretty flat, which is always a bonus!
In order to get our friends and family involved, and to help us to our goal of raising $10,000 for the PCF, we have a couple of options for you!
Run with us! Here are the details:
Tom King Classic 5k
March 9th, 7:45am

Then, encourage your friends and family to donate to the cause!
There are approximately 6 weeks until race day, so let's see how close we can get to our $10,000 goal together! If you have any questions, just ask!
And as always...GOOOOO G SHOCK!
