Jan's cancer @$$ kicking endeavour.....v3.0 - Honda-Tech

Frozen E · 07-03-2009, 07:27 PM

Yep, that time of year once again. The last two of these were a HUGE success and I hope I can count on H-T's support again this year. If you'd like to help out I would really appreciate it. Show it to your friends and family. Every penny helps. I've set a modest goal of $1,000 this year. Shouldn't be a problem, right?

Once you make a donation shoot me an email with your contact information. (name, email, mailing address, phone #, whatever you want to give up). I'm only going to use this info to thank/recognize your support with either an email, some pictures of the run, thank you cards, not sure yet. The ACS appreciates your donation, but so do I for backing me up in this. Not quite sure how I'm going to recognize everybody this year, but I'll come up with something.
Send email to janjohnson@gmail.com

I'd name each and every one off but I'm limited in space here.

Thank you to each and every one of you. I hope I can count on your support again this year.

A couple changes this year compared to the previous years. The biggest one is the cruel joke big daddy Air Force decided to play on me. Instead of beautiful Hawaii I'm back in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

But don't panic. I'm still doing this thing. I've already booked my tickets and will be arriving in Honolulu on the 10th of December and will be ready to rock 'n' roll on the 13th at 5AM. That's commitment for ya, huh?

With everything that's going on with the economy and all I know that people are a bit more strapped for cash, but dig deep.As always, every penny will go to the ACS and will help in the fight against cancer. Thanks again for all your support. Not quite sure how I'm going to recognize everybody this year. The shirt you see me wearing in the picture had all my contributors' names on the back with little messages they had to everybody I passed.

Might have to do that again this year,

Anyway, below you'll see the standard cookie cutter message that the ACS puts out for your reading pleasure. Thank you for looking, and I hope I can count on your contribution.

Together, we are making a difference!

This year, hundreds of thousands of people will hear the words "You have cancer," and there's a good chance that some of them will be people we know and love. I have chosen to fight back against this disease and help make a difference by supporting the American Cancer Society’s mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service

Please help me!

Matgallis · 07-04-2009, 11:15 AM

awesome work my friend

Frozen E · 07-04-2009, 07:54 PM

No donations yet, but I'M making moves towards getting my time down into the 4 hour range this year.

Just signed myself up for a half marathon on the 1st of August. This will be my 3rd event since getting moved up here.

Did a little 5k last week, got a triathlon I'm doing in a couple of weeks, and now this.
http://www.gfymca.org/events/

That's the week my friends back in Hawaii and I will be officially kicking off our 20 week training program. Honestly I can't wait for December to get here. I feel I'm going to be more prepared than ever before. I'm completely committed to this thing. Hopefully I can get a few people to back me up this year.

Thanks for looking. I'll keep everybody updated as the days, weeks and months go on.

Honda Tool · 07-05-2009, 09:16 AM

Just sent donation. Thanks

Frozen E · 07-05-2009, 09:44 AM

Thank you man. It's very appreciated. Lets see if you opened up the flood gates.

14% thanks to Mr. Knighton.

Mullet_SyTy · 07-14-2009, 01:45 AM

Go get'em Jan

Frozen E · 07-14-2009, 03:29 AM

Thanks a lot man. Much appreciated.

Official training kicks off in a week or so. Just for the hell of it I dusted my bike off yesterday......13 miles for the first ride....BAD IDEA.

Redline130 · 07-14-2009, 08:29 PM

I'll help you out again this year. I just lost a cousin last week to cancer. Thank you again for doing this very charitable endeavour.

Frozen E · 07-14-2009, 09:38 PM

Reid, brother, sorry to hear about your loss. I'll do my very best to represent you and everybody else that's helping again this year. As always, I won't let you guys down.

Much Mahalos for having my back.

I miss the islands man.

Redline130 · 07-15-2009, 03:19 AM

Thanks Jan, it was just her time I guess. She was actually battling it for a while, but finally decided she didn't want to be in pain anymore. I know one day a cure will be found for this horrible illness.

It's been pretty nice here, some hot days the past few weeks. But now we start to play "Dodge That Hurricane" lol. Looks like it might be a busy season this year.

If I can, I'll donate again before the deadline.

my mom has been fighting multiple myeloma for over two years now. good luck & thanks.

Frozen E · 07-17-2009, 12:26 PM

Got a triathlon tomorrow morning. Nothing big. 400m swim, 12 mile bike and a 5k run.
Then on the 23rd there's a 5K to help out one of my local running club members in her fight against breast cancer.

All these things leading up to the official start of the training program. Woohooo!!!

Frozen E · 07-18-2009, 11:27 AM

Just finished my first triathlon in over a year. Man, talk about a wake up call. Biking and running need some serious work. Just wanted to share.

Frozen E · 07-21-2009, 05:55 PM

5 mile river side run tonight. Felt pretty good. Got that 5k this Thursday for one of our running group members. Should be a good time.
Got another donation a couple days ago. Woohoooo!!!! Keep 'em coming.

Frozen E · 07-23-2009, 09:54 PM

Did the Ta Ta Crusade 5K tonight. All I can say is WOW!!!
Hell of a turnout. I was expecting maybe 50 people at the most. The park was packed. I'd say at least 300 people showed for this thing. Awesome stuff when people come together to help out somebody they don't even know.

On a side note, I knocked that 5k out in about 30 minutes flat.

Frozen E · 07-29-2009, 11:05 AM

This exercise we have going on this week is really not jiving with my training schedule. That and the weather not really playing along. So I've been logging all my miles on the treadmill in the exercise room here in the apt.

Got a half marathon I'm running this Saturday. I'll be sure to post results when done.

Keep donating folks. $20 here, $10 there really helps.

Frozen E · 08-01-2009, 04:31 AM

Alright alright alriiiight!!!! Testing the waters this morning to see where I stand. Doing my first half marathon this morning. The rain stopped, the forecast looks good, and my new shoes showed up in the mail yesterday (not using them though since using a distance race to break in untested shoes is like playing Russian roulette).

I should be back by noon today and will report back with my status.

Frozen E · 08-01-2009, 09:24 AM

Half Marathon in the books!!!

2 hours 34 minutes. Not great but not horrible either. Hobbled with a cramped up right calf muscle the last 5 miles.

With my training program and dropping about 30 lbs, that 4:59:59 or less marathon is looking pretty damn possible

Frozen E · 08-15-2009, 11:50 PM

Well, ordered new shoes since this latest pair of new ones really isn't working out for me. Going back to my old faithful Asics Kayanos. Can't wait for them to get here.

Mullet_SyTy · 08-18-2009, 09:31 PM

Sounds like you are putting in some serious miles. Remember to take your glucosamine. Ha.

Keep it up Jan.

Frozen E · 08-18-2009, 09:37 PM

serious miles don't kick in for another 2 months or so.
