How I did it: I used pictures from other weddings to help my sister pick which looks she liked best using her favorite flowers. We saved money and still had great looking roses by buying them in bulk from the local grocery store. My old florist was very accommodating in ordering specialty items last minute. Everything was brought in the day before so it was as fresh as possible. Even though we had a snag with the lilies we managed to pulled extra roses… Read how I did it…
I’ve been running around town for a couple of months now when a co-worker passed me a brochure for the Richmond Marathon. It’s in November and they offer an 8k so, given I run almost half the course 3 times a week now, I feel confident in my ability and have enough time to train for the full course. Once I started looking up the miles and other info I came across the Race for the Cure site and discovered theirs is only a 5k. Since that was already on my list I’m committing myself to both races 1 month apart with an initial 3 months training. I am stoked!
