Eleventh Practice - Valley Forge

The warm weather has returned... 30+ degrees today! Full marathon participants completed ten miles by running two five-mile loops on the trail by the main building.

Mission Moment... see my last post below regarding Adam Spector's status. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Another team hero, Curtis Bronson, passed along good news to Amanda (Team In Training Campaign Coordinator) recently... Curtis and his wife may be able to conceive children soon thanks to modern technology! Congratulations Curtis!!!

Fundraising update... I have reached $2335. I'm still receiving donations in the mail, and through my Team In Training website... $665 to go! Other fundraising ideas may materialize soon... I'm thinking about selling items at a flea market in the Spring, and may talk to a few of my musical friends about upcoming benefit shows. Stay tuned!

Next Saturday, we return to Valley Forge again.

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.
