Today was crazy. It hailed, it snowed, it rained and it shined. The weather couldn't make up it's mind! I feel great. I was sick earlier this week and got back to running on Thursday before rocking it this afternoon. Actually, I did another 3.62 miles at a much easier pace an hour or so later with Joni (she's such a sweetie for slowing down for me).
I've been thinking again about all the people I run for and how my heart goes out to everyone in the world who has been or is being affected by the stupid, horrible varieties of cancer. Cancer sucks. I wish I could do more than run, but it's what I can do right now and I hope I raise the winning amount of money to make a breakthrough. Save everyone. Cheer. Kill cancer FOREVER.
That's what I dream about, among other things. Mostly, though, it's what gets me through these runs.
Rest in peace, Great Uncle Dick.

I dare you to donate today in honor of my re-commitment with Team in Training. I'm going all the way! High-fives are cool and all, but here's a new way to look at them:
1. Gimme 5 minutes of your time - go to my website at http://pages.teamintraining.org/wa/rnrseatl10/cgoade and read about what I am is doing.
2. Gimme $5 bucks - just donate online: five dollars for a great cause - and hey if you want to donate more, high FIVE!
3. Gimme 5 friends - send this to five friends and help spread the word!
4. 5 was the age of diagnosis for Kamryn, one of the honored patients that I am running for. She is 7 years old now and still in treatment. It blows. Kill cancer with every step, every dollar, and every shout out!
5. Every 5 minutes someone new is diagnosed with a blood cancer - money for research is desperately needed. Donate now.

Komen Eastern Washington Race for the Cure®
Race Date: April 18, 2010
Dear Friends and Family,
I recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to support the 2010 Komen Eastern Washington Race for the Cure® on 04/18/2010 in the fight against breast cancer. One in eight women will be stricken with breast cancer in her lifetime and the more we raise, the more the Eastern Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure can give back to fund vital breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in our own community and support the national search for a cure.
Click here to visit my personal page and pledge your support.
Please join me in the fight by pledging in support of my participation in the Race or contributing generously to the 2010 Komen Eastern Washington Race for the Cure®. Your tax-deductible contribution will fund innovative outreach and awareness programs for medically underserved communities in the Eastern Washington area and national breast cancer research. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. If you would prefer, you can also send your tax-deductible contribution to the address listed below. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Thank you so much for your time and support in the fight against breast cancer! Every step counts!
Sincerely,

A Mission Moment
Cancer Clinical Trials
A cancer clinical trial, sometimes called a research study, is a study conducted by medical scientists to improve the care and treatment of cancer patients. There are clinical trials that test and develop new and improved ways to diagnose and treat cancer in people, prevent or alleviate treatment side effects, help prevent a recurrence of cancer or improve the comfort and quality of life of persons with cancer.
Clinical trials are important for the treatment of leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma (blood cancers) because they provide promising new treatment options and offer the hope of increased survival and/or improved quality of life. They may also help future patients with these cancers. A treatment that is proven safe and effective in a cancer clinical trial will often be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and become a standard treatment for future patients with cancer.

Joni and I rocked our hill run yesterday! Woohoo! My legs are sore from walking in heels all evening, however. Double score.
The Rummage Sale/Car Wash wasn't a huge hit, but it got us out there and now we have everything ready to host our own. Joe and I plan on setting up in our lawn and studying while selling in the next couple weeks. I'll be spreading the word soon.
Today's workout is 30 minutes of recovery to keep my muscles from crying later this week. I'll be swimming and working my arms, too! If only I could study in the pool... it's going to be a busy week. Love!
I've been thinking of the U-Tards a lot lately and sending so much love their way. Join me? Go Team Goade!! *SPIRIT FINGERS* in the general direction of Utah.
