Hi, All - 

I've decide to run with Team Bookin' It at the Humana Rock 'n' Roll 10K on July 21!

I started volunteering with Open Books earlier this year, and I love it! And now that I'm trying to be a runner again, I might combine the two, right? My goal is to raise just $500. It's not much, but it will go to a great organization that does a lot of good for young readers and writers.

I'd love it if you could spare a couple of bucks for a great cause! 

Thanks!
