Texarkana Race for the Cure

For those of you reading from Texarkana or family in ElDo or anywhere close to there the Race for the cure in Texarkana is 10/20. Some of my mother's friends have gotten together a team in my name. The team is actually called Jenna's Mother Hens and Friends. There are currently about 20 people registered. I don't think ElDo has a Race for the Cure and I would be honored if any of you there would like to participate in Texarkana on my team. Chad and I are both going to do it. I would like to try to run the race, but considering my current condition I don't know if I can gain the endurance by then. We'll see...I mean I did do a 1/2 marathon when I was a nonrunner prior to training so who knows! Below is part of an email that my friend Molly Beth Malcolm composed about the details for signing up:

To be eligible for Team awards, you must be entered by September 26, so we are asking everyone to register and get your t-shirt size and money in by Tuesday, September 25! We think there is a good chance of being the winner of the new team with the most members, so please sign in soon and get your friends and spouses to join. Men are welcome, too! Weldon Johnson, Curt Green, Bruce Malcolm, and Josh Wiggins are already on board.

We also are entering the team t-shirt contest. Vicky Starks is designing it and it is going to be darling!!! The cost will be $10.00 per t-shirt and we will wear them on the day of the race. Please get your t-shirt size (S,M,L,XL, or XXL) and $10.00 to Diane Green at 870-773-5722, Vicky Starks at 870-773-6160 or Junie Young at 870-773-4139 as soon as possible. (You will also receive a Komen t-shirt with your registration.)

Here is the information needed to register on line. Go to www.txkrace.org Click on “register”. Then click on “Join an existing team.” Type “jenna” in the team name box and click on “Search for Team.” It will go to “Jenna’s Mother Hens and Friends”. Click on “join”. You may join at any level, but most of us are going to join the Adult Non-competitive 5KJog/Walk. If you are unable to walk with us, you can still be on our team by joining Sleep In for the Cure. The next part of the form asks for an additional gift, your fundraising goal, or pink postcard purchase. None of those are necessary unless you choose to participate in them. Delete the $100 amount from your fundraising goal line. Follow the registration through to your credit card information. Once everything is completed you will receive an email confirmation.

Please call me if you have additional questions.

Also, the deadline for ordering any pics of Noah is 9/9. Lanningphoto.com is the site. Click on proofs and ordering and look for my name. The password is Noah.

I believe Mrs. Jenna is going to take it easy on this Friday. I am wearing my lovely compression bandage around my waist and it actually feels sort of nice on my back having that pressure. Everyone enjoy your weekend. I am going to enjoy mine with my two favorite boys!!
