First day of training at Valley Forge National Historical Park was wonderful! Curtis Bronson, one of our Team Heroes, was present to share his story... a heart-warming message that inspired us all to think about our fundraising goals and to give 110 % during our training run! I had a chance to speak to him for a few minutes before his speech, and mentioned posting his story on my personal website (see Stephen's Links). It was a pleasure meeting him... any worries about raising enough money for my $3000 goal have vanished after hearing his story in person!!!
I recognized a few people from the 11/9 kick-off meeting and met a few new recruits during the training run. To my surprise, I managed to stick with the top runners for 5 miles! I suppose 15+ years of jogging has finally paid off!
Afterwards, breakfast with a few teammates at Ruby's Diner in King of Prussia was a great way to end a fantastic day of training! Next Sunday, we're training at Kelly Drive in Philly.
