The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as improving the quality of life for children and adults affected by these chronic intestinal diseases. CCFA is at the forefront of medical research in IBD, playing a role in every major scientific breakthrough, from generating data that leads to new therapies to the discovery of the first gene for Crohn's disease. The Foundation also sponsors a wide range of educational programs for patients and health-care professionals, and provides supportive services to help people affected by IBD. As CCFA is not a government-supported agency, these programs are supported solely by contributions from members and donors.

The long run...

Even though the official start day for training isn't until Monday, I've been training for the last couple weeks, since I feel like I'm a little below the curve, having never done this sort of thing before. So...tonight was my second long run, 4 miles. I didn't expect it to be easy, since I didn't sleep a whole lot last night, and hadn't eaten well the last couple days. But, the miles flew by, I ran a good pace, and only walked about a tenth of a mile. Today is the first day I actually believe I can do this without really sucking at it...
Also, it started raining when I was about halfway into the run, and one of my neighbors, who happens to be a good-looking guy, stopped to ask if I needed a ride. Too bad I had to turn him down. I guess you have to make sacrifices to train...
