Salem Road Race for a Cure

On April 11 Organik will be sponsoring and I will be running the 5K Salem Road Race. Proceeds from this race will benefit the Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation. You can visit http://www.salemctroadrace.org/ for more information. We will be taking donations at Organik.

Over the next few weeks I will be tracking my progress here. I have never entered a race or even ran any sort of distance before so I would love the support anyone has to offer. It should be an interesting few weeks.

Day 1
I woke up at 6 am, not on purpose but because my youngest decided it would be a great time to want breakfast. HA. Well Im up so on goes the sweats and sneaks. I have Lenny Kravits and Kid Rock to keep me company. Not sure if my play list from these artist were the best choice but it got me doing some much needed thinking. As I turning the corner at the end of my road I started a light jog. Thinking this wasn't so bad I picked up the speed a little. Yup, thats about when it quickly hit me that I'm completely out of breath and about to pass out. Oh yea and did I mention I am still only about 1/2 mile from where I started. After I caught my breath I decided to alternate jogging and walking just so I could get through my planned out loop. Once I reached the homestead still out of breath but excited to have reached the end, my husband was so nice to let me know that my loop was only about 1.5 miles. WHAT! And I have to run 3.5 miles in 2 weeks?! Oh boy! Not sure how I am going to do this!

Podcast on its way!

Soon there will be a podcast of Organik! Shooting began a few weeks ago and went very well. I am working with Kate Mercer of Kate Mercer Photography who is conducting the podcast. We had a wonderful time editing, fine tuning and adding music to the background. The clip will focus on the wedding side of Organik, showcasing examples of favors, registry items, and gifts. We will keep you posted to when the podcast will be released for viewing!
