Garage Sale

Yesterday we had a garage sale to raise money for Team in Training. It actually went pretty well since we sort of threw it together last minute. After a week of 90+ temps, the day couldn't have been more beautiful! Sun shining, cool breeze...it was great just being outside all day without melting. Grace even wore jeans and a jacket. As many of you know there are good and bad things about doing a garage sale. The good things are you make some money and get rid of your junk. We made a little over $300 which will all be going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society so that's cool. However, garage sales are a ton of work. There was so much to do to get ready for the sale during the week that I didnt' get in any of my runs. It was such a struggle since Team in Training is two fold. Do I work on the garage sale so I can raise money or get my run in? It was a good thing I worked on the sale because even with babysitters every night and me doing what I can when the girls were napping during the day, we still barely got done. I'm just praying that missing about 3 runs this week won't put me back very far. And in my head I know it doesn't make a difference in a 3 or 4 month training period but I still feel guilty as crap. Speaking of crap, we still have tons left so we're planning on having another sale next Saturday. It should be easier since we just rolled everything in the garage and we'll just roll it right out again.
