Hi all!
So you thought you’d seen the last of my races with that whole ‘5K on my Birthday’ thing?? WELL GUESS WHAT!? I signed up with a few of my awesome coworkers to run this Half Marathon in San Diego this June. It’s my first one, so idk how this is going to go, but I’m 100% interested in it for a few reasons:
I’ll be raising money for research at St. Judes Children’s Hospital! Click the below link if you’re down to donate!

I’l be living out my David Goggins’ “Can’t Hurt Me” DREAM. Have you guys read that book yet? I listened to it on a reccomendation from my older sister, and it was INSANE. This guy runs marathons like it’s a walk in the park. I was so inspired, I legit signed up for this the week after listening to his book.
I get to push my body physically further than it’s ever gone. I mean, I’ve done crazy intense hikes before, but nothing as crazy as running this many miles back-to-back. I’m trying to do this in 2 hours, which means I’m going to have to practice some self-discipline with my diet and training routine. I kinda can’t wait. I’ll document the sweaty process on my Instagram @gangesgal
NEW FRIENDS!!! I’m excited to see who other folks are running for, and why they like this so much. Events like this are a great networking opportunity to meet people who really care about helping others, in their own way (this way being running lol). But that’s what this who “Do Good Things Club” is about!! Always knowing that no matter where you come from, what you look like, or how much money you have, you’re capable of helping someone else who needs it.
Anyways, here’s the link to the run website. Mine came out to $170 total I think for the half, which is definitely a lot for me (think of allll the ramen that’s worth!!), but I think it’s worth the investment in myself and in this research.
If you’re thinking of running, hit me up in the comments! We can swap training schedules.
