Eighteenth Practice - Valley Forge

Full marathon participants completed twenty miles today! The weather was overcast, but the mild temperature was very comfortable for running. I'm quite surprised that I'm not aching as I write this message! Perhaps when I stand up, I will feel the pain!

Thank you to teammates Denny and Lauren for the support during the run... looking forward to running with both of you during the upcoming New Jersey Marathon! Theresa... you're too quick for me! Good luck with the next long run in two weeks on your own!!!

Fundraising Focus... Congratulations to Vancouver participant, Julie S.!!! Over the course of the last two weeks, Julie raised $3,230 online and won the Ananda Spa Gift Certificate in the online fundraising challenge. Great job, Julie!

Next Saturday, we return to Valley Green to run eleven miles!

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.
