I’m running for Team Clubhouse at this year’s H-E-B Alamo Run Fest. I am so happy and proud to participate in the Run, because exercise and staying healthy is important to me, and I get to represent SA Clubhouse in the event. This article is the first in a series about my experience with the Alamo Run Fest: Preparation.
 
First there was the profile pic. I had Linda snap a photo of me doing a yoga pose. Luckily, Brandon had told me before that I was going to be photographed, so I mentally prepared myself for the shot, haha. In fact, I even looked up athletic poses on the internet before we got out to shoot. Yoga seemed to work for me!
 
We have a Clubhouse Pledge Form for the Run Fest, and it looks awesome! It has wonderful pictures and is vivid and informational. The whole campaign for Team Clubhouse makes me excited for the support we’ll get for the Run Fest. The donations we’ll receive are paramount. Each and every donation allows us to continue running our facility and providing support to all of our members.
 
In addition to the Pledge Form, everyone who runs has a profile on Crowdrise.com to make it easier for people to donate online. My yoga picture is up there, as well as the donations I’ve already collected. Nathan handed five pledge forms and encouraged me to set a goal for myself: $100 seems ideal. So that is my collection goal.
 
I also posted about the Run Fest on my Facebook page, asking my friends for donations. More than a few people have already liked the post! I’ve had two people donate on my Crowdrise Page so far. It just really makes my day that people are willing to donate for our cause.
 
I plan to walk and jog during the race. To prepare for the physical exertion, I’ve been doing stretches, exercises, and jogging in the weeks leading up to the race, so as not to run short of breathe too quickly. Stretching is important, because it sets a good foundation for my jogging. I can only jog in small increments; a block or so, then my lungs, heart, and legs begin to protest. However, it is getting easier with practice.
 
I hope you join me in saying good luck to all the participants of the Alamo Run Fest. Go Team Clubhouse!
