Today's training session at Kelly Drive started near the Philadelphia Museum of Art at 8:00 AM. Our head coach, Bill, spoke about flexibility and sticking to our running schedule for maximum training results. Amanda, our Team In Training Campaign Coordinator, gave a short speech about the cause for newcomers and allowed a fellow teammate to share a personal story.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous today! Sure, it was somewhat cold, but I warmed up during the first mile. There were many teammates attending for the first time, so it was nice to get acquainted during the run.
Most of us completed 3 to 6 miles today... GO TEAM! Next Saturday, we return to Valley Forge.

About Me
- Stephen
- 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.
