only 2 1/2 more months to go & $2500 more to raise!

Wow!! I cannot believe how long it's been since our last entry!!
Life just flies by when you are busy and having fun. Since Mike's Scotia Half, we have just been busy training and connecting with friends and family. We are getting back on track with our fundraising. I just received almost $600 in donations in the last 2 weeks. Mike received close to $400. We still need aprox $2500 more to go to hit our target!!! So please got to www.teamdiabetes.ca and click on pledge a participant -- type in either Waleah Blais or Michael Blais & Burnaby and make a donation!! You will help support a good cause and receive a tax receipt for your donation. No donation is too big or small!!

We recently got certified as Open Water Scuba Divers. Also just did our Advanced course too. It's a lot of fun!! We are having a blast diving together and have a couple of other friends who dive too. It's a whole different world down there and so much to see!! It's beautiful and amazing!!

Okay, I just got off the phone with Mike's step-brother who is going to Dublin to do the marathon with us and according to the Dublin Marathon web page, it is only 80 days away!! Oh my!! We better get busy on our fundraising!

This weekend we have Brent (our best man) and Bless' wedding. Should be a great time on Saturday. I hope the day goes smoothly for them and they have as much fun on their special day as we had on ours. Sunday we have a big training day. 29km!! Whew...that makes me tired just thinking about it.

I'm still instructing the walking clinic at the Poco Running Room. I have a great group of walkers -- some training for a Half Marathon in the fall and one currently training for a Full Marathon in the fall. It is fun to have some people to train with. Helps those long walks go by faster!! Mike is heading downtown on Sunday to meet his running group for a field trip for their long run! I hope it's a good one for them. Stephen, their instructor, has been coming up with some hard and challenging routes for them! I think he's determined to make them all better & stronger runners!

Well, I'm going to sign off for now. We'll try harder to keep these posts happening now. :)

Hope you are enjoying your summer.
