Latest update from our Marathon Runner - Dawn

After talking with my coaches, I have decided I need to drop from the full marathon to the half marathon. Unfortunately, the injuries I sustained during the 18-mile run are not healing, and I my coaches advised me to stop running until I heal up completely. I am just not going to be ready for the full marathon. I would rather wait longer to do a marathon than risk permanent injury.

I am disappointed, but I know the real reason I undertook this endeavor was to raise money to help people with blood cancers. I am proud of all we have been able to accomplish, and I appreciate your support.

UPDATE ON CUSTOMER TRAINING FOR MARATHON

UPDATE ON CUSTOMER TRAINING FOR MARATHON

Sorry that it has been a while since I sent out an update…work and training have consumed me.

However, I have great news about my fundraising. Thanks to all my generous contributors, I have EXCEEDED my fundraising goal ($3,160)! I am truly grateful and appreciative of everyone who has supported me in this effort.

On the training front, I recently experienced a non-running related back injury, which sidelined me for the last two weeks. I am slowly getting back into training now, and my coaches assure me that I will still be ready when November 16th rolls around. I am a little nervous, but determined to give it my best shot. My back seems better now, so hopefully the two-week break has not affected my progress too badly.

Thank you all for your support, thoughts, and prayers.

Dawn

**Thanks to everyone who helped me to EXCEED my fundraising goal!

I'm running my first marathon to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

IT'S OFFICIAL - BROOKS RUNNING COMING SOON!

IT'S OFFICIAL - BROOKS RUNNING COMING SOON!

I must say after 6 months of constant contact with Brooks, we have finally been approved to carry Brooks Running here at MyFavoriteStyles. We have had so many request for their wonderful apparel, we are all delighted that we will be launching their product within the next two weeks.

Our new Men's activewear apparel is some of the best for running, biking, workouts and just "hanging out" with friends. The Brooks Running collections showcase high performing technical fabrics that move with you every step of the way.

We are so excited to introduce Brooks Running HVAC collection. Brooks cutting-edge fabric technology really does do it all. The HVAC fabric is embedded with X-STATIC®, The Silver Fiber™, and detects changes in your body temperature and reacts by moving heat from high to low heat areas, while the denier-gradient polyester fabric rapidly moves moisture away from your skin. You stay thermally balanced and comfortable. In other words, you are going to love this fabric!

Get ready for some "Happy Running"!

MYFAVORITESTYLES.COM CUSTOMER TRAINING FOR MARATHON

MYFAVORITESTYLES.COM CUSTOMER TRAINING FOR MARATHON

I wanted to share the progress from one of our customers, Dawn, that is running her first marathon to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We were first connected when she ordered Moving Comfort Melbourne bras for this training. We were able to supply her with the colors and sizes needed for her event in November. I think you will enjoy her determination and desire to raise money for a disease that many of us have experienced with loved ones that have been effective with this disease.

“Well, it's been about a month since my last update, so I thought I'd let all my supporters know about my progress so far.

On the training side, my long runs are now in the double digits! In fact, Wayne and I will be doing a 15.5 mile race this weekend. Hard to believe that only a year ago I couldn't even run a quarter mile without having to stop! Only 4 more months of training before the big day!

On the fundraising side, I'll be $900 over my goal of $3,000 when the Chevron matching funds come in (probably August)!! Thanks again to all of you for your generosity and support - I couldn't have done this without you!

Even though I'm only about half way through my training, I have to say I've been blessed far more than I ever could have imagined. Thank you for being a part of that."

To find out how you can help, please visit Dawn's website at:

I will keep you updated as Dawn continues her success!

GET READY TO EXPERIENCE BEYOND YOGA!

I have been reading and hearing about how comfortable Beyond Yoga active wear is when exercises for a while now, so decided maybe it was a line that MyFavoriteStyles.com should consider. This clothing line is a favorite among Hollywood’s hottest stars. Not that we are shaped like Hollywood’s hottest stars, it’s nice to know that we can certainly be as comfortable in active wear as we do our routine exercises. Luxurious fabric forms the perfect yoga pant or camisole for the modern woman caring you through your routine and comfortable enough to wear all day.

We should have the Beyond Yoga line ready for you to view next week.

NEW GEAR

Get ready for our new “Gear” items we will be adding to our website this week! Nathan’s Hydration Paks and Penquin Sport-Wash are the first two products we will be introducing. The Hydration Paks are perfect to wear during your workouts, cycling, or jogging. Our Sport-Wash restores and maintains the moisture management properties of high performing technical fabric. Since most of activewear is made of high-tech fabrics, this Sport-Wash restores factory-applied waterproofing (DWR). I think you will feel and see the different when you wash your sports clothes in Sport-Wash instead of regular detergent.
