#5 (aka) Run a 5K

With the help of three of my fellow 33 before 33ers, I am happy to announce that I am registered to run a 5K!

This October, Susan G. Komen for The Cure (formally The Komen Foundation), will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Race for the Cure. Women around the world are stepping up to raise breast cancer funds and awareness - a goal of 1.8 million dollars worth to be exact - and in remembrance and support of those who have been affected by breast cancer.

Race for the Cure has remained the largest 5K event in the world since 1998. That fact alone gives me the confidence that our team will run the 3.2 miles with ease simply based on all of that positive energy!

I'm looking very much forward to crossing #5 off of my 33 before 33 come October 5th at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, where Team Lizzy will run for the cure, for two women who are very dear to us, and for breast cancer fighters and survivors around the globe.

Vsist the Team Lizzy home page to support our team, join our team, or learn more about Race for the Cure.

Enjoy!

20 Something, 20 Everything

While reading one of the many "Job Search" e-mails I receive daily, I came accross an article written by a woman name Christine Hassler. Christine is the girl who "had it all" - she worked her butt off through college at Northwestern, landed a successful job as a Hollywood executive (complete with an office with a view), and was making the big bucks in a glamourous lifestyle all by the age of 25. The catch: she was miserable. After many trials and tribulations, she took some huge risks and, because of them, is happily "where she is" today - working as a life coach and motivational speaker focusing on the mental health of women in their 20's.
Her full story (it's an interesting one!), as well as her articles and podcasts can be found on her website: http://www.christinehassler.com/

Enjoy!
