Fourth Practice - Kelly Drive

The first day of winter occurred a few days ago, but it felt like Christmas in July today! Eight miles were completed during today's training session at Kelly Drive for full marathon participants. I believe most of us completed the distance.

After many years of residing in the Philadelphia area, I finally had my "Rocky" moment... a fellow runner (Denny) and I sprinted to the top of the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps during the last mile!

Each week, I'm meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends... what a great experience!

I have reached a fundraising milestone... $1003 as of this afternoon!!! I'm one third toward reaching my goal. Pass the word to your friends!

Next Saturday, we return to Valley Forge.

About Me

I became involved with Team In Training during the Spring 2007 season by training for the New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch, New Jersey. Prior races include several 5K and 10K events, and one half marathon. Training for an endurance event takes a lot of commitment, courage, and vision. Looking back on my casual running experience for the past two decades, I never imagined training for a marathon! Through Team In Training, I found a great training program, developed new friendships, and made a significant impact by raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma from taking more lives. I am continually inspired by our featured team heroes and the personal stories from friends, family, and teammates that were shared during my initial fundraising for the cause. Please enjoy reading the past stories of my experience.
