Twelfth Practice - Valley Forge

The snow and ice altered our course today! Full marathon participants completed fourteen miles by running two six-mile loops, and one two-mile loop along the service roads starting at the main building. It was not fun fighting traffic today due to a historical reenactment event, but we made it! This was a milestone for me since my longest run occurred in 2005 during a half marathon event.

Mission Moment... please continue to keep Adam, Curtis and Markie in your thoughts and prayers.

Fundraising update... no new donations this week. The total remains at $2335. I'm still working on the fundraising ideas discussed last week, so stay tuned for more information!

Next Sunday, we return to Kelly Drive.

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.
