The First Mile - Training this Saturday at 8:00 AM - Kelly Drive and Tyler Park

TWO TRAININGS THIS WEEKEND - You can go to either one.

Both are Saturday, June 30th at 8:00 AM

Kelly Drive: Arrive EARLY (parking is a pain). We will meet in the Lloyd Hall parking lot on the end closest to the Art Museum (same spot as the last time we were there if you made it out). I will be at this one and look forward to seeing you.

Tyler Park in Bucks County: Meet at the Swamp Road lot. Enter the park at the intersection of the Newtown/Yardley bypass and Swamp Road. Go straight down Swamp Road until you reach the parking lot and park there. – Map is attached. Also, attached is the complete list of Bucks County trainings throughout the season.

Yikes – it is HOT out there. Be careful with the heat. Talk to your coaches about how to deal with these temperatures as you are getting in your miles. Be safe and be smart about it. Congratulations on all of the success you have seen individually, and also that we've accomplished as a Team so far this season. Those fundraising totals are continually increasing and I'm sure that you've also made great strides with your training. We are happy to share in this excitement with you! GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!

Training shirts – Good news! The shipment just arrived (sorry for the delay) for those of you who didn't get your white training shirts when you first registered. I will have them with me at the Kelly Drive training this Saturday. There are quite a few to give out so please come up to me if you are expecting a shirt. Please try to make it to this training if possible so that I don't have to mail them out, but if you can’t attend keep an eye out for it in the mail.

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.
