Help PEGGY RUN for PROJECT OPEN HAND!

Hi Fellow CrossFitters,
I recently signed up to run a half marathon (13.1 miles) on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010. This is something I've never done before, nor would have even considered before starting CrossFit. Now I know I'm in good enough shape to take on this challenge - AND I'm running to raise money for my favorite organization, Project Open Hand, a nonprofit that provides "meals with love" to people living with HIV and other serious illnesses and to seniors in San Francisco and Alameda County since 1985.

I've happily delivered meals for Project Open Hand for over 10 years. (http://www.openhand.org) To run as part of Team Open Hand, I've committed to raise $1,300, or $100 per mile. To date, I've collected about half that amount. If you want to help out, any donation amount will be greatly appreciated and wisely used by Project Open Hand! And you can deduct it on your 2009 taxes! Here's how to donate:


*Make an online donation on my Team Open Hand web page;
http://www.active.com/donate/teamopenhand/pegw

*Write a check payable to Project Open Hand. Be sure to enter "Peggy Wallace - Team Open Hand" in the memo area of your check so that your amount will be credited to my fundraising efforts. You can give me the check during class, or PM (Private Message) me on the LaLanne Fitness Forum.

PALEO RECIPE
"Paleo Chicken Soup"
Take the carcass of your Rosemary Chicken and put in a pan with 4-5 cups of water and a little salt. Simmer about an hour. Strain the broth. Pick all the meat off the bones. Put broth in a pan with the meat, add some chopped onion or leek, a little chopped carrot, other appropriate veggies you have on hand such as green beans, zucchini, daikon, yellow squash or bell pepper. Simmer 15 minutes. Then chop and add some nice green: spinach, bok choy, kale, collards, or chard. Simmer another 10 minutes, add herbal salt or other seasonings.
