As I sit with FD#1 on the grass at frisbee, fighting off the local mosquito population and waiting for her heart rate to drop down from excessive tongue drooling panting, it dawned on me what I had done with my Saturday afternoon!!! In fact, I recall earlier today when I signed in to update about my weekend that Saturday afternoon was my primary reason for updating as I'd had some exciting news...and I promptly forgot about it! i think I really need to quit my job just so I have more time to sleep and recharge my brain.
I was recently being bragged about by my nearly 20something young cousin, JGal, in Sydney. (did I mention this yet?) Anyway, a friend of hers at local athletics was higher up in Rebel Sport...and this was the person whose ear she was chewing off! (JGal is officially my biggest supporter...or certainly the most vocal!) Her friend suggested that I be in contact with 1 of 2 managers of Rebel in WA. By the time I contacted Michelle Pendleton of Rebel Sport Melville she had been filled in with some details of my endeavour. She was very enthusiastic and happy to support me with product sponsorship! How exciting is that? A proper sponsored athlete...I guess I am no longer a jogger. While she is unable to help with any cash donations, as was my first request for the Lung Foundation, she is willingly supplying me with most of the mandatory equipment that I have to have for the race, as well as a couple pairs of new shoes! I feel so grateful for her generosity and sense of community spirit.
