A personal message from Amanda Goble:
Below is an update from Team Hero Jen Polo's Trek blog. All very good news as you are preparing for some long mileages this weekend. Remember to check out her blog at http://womenwhoride.typepad.com/jen
Well, it's been a long couple of days since my scan - my body is still "enjoying" the effects of the barium. But, I am soooooo happy to report that my radiology report was the shortest it has been in almost 3 years. NO CANCER! No glowing spots, no little bits, nothing. My doctor knows that it does not suffice to say "You're fine." I have to lay my eyes on that report (and many times the actual scan films) myself.
So, scan-a-rama-ding-dong! [Insert your own sound effect and crazy dance of joy here].
It's hard to explain to those who haven't been directly through the roller coaster of cancer themselves how much living between these scans changes you. My entire personality changes right before each scan because of the anxiety and the mental preparation you have to go through to deal with whatever may come. Sometimes, okay most times, at least for Jeff and I that mental preparation comes in the form of sarcastic humor. Jeff comes with me to each appointment and so as we are sitting waiting for lab work, his work phone buzzes with incoming e-mail.
Jeff: "Hmmm. . . a rep from a company is coming in to take us to lunch. What time will we be done?" Me: "Do you want my next blog title to be "Honey, how's your steak?. . . I have cancer again." ? Jeff: "Funny. I'll e-mail that back to them." Humor is what gets us through.
I had someone say to me last year, "You have to go every three months - that's so often." Yes, it may seem often to some, but, to me, being granted a three month reprieve from pokes, prods, questions, forms, lab results, chemo - any of it feels - like a lifetime. We rejoiced this summer when I was given the "whole summer" off. I felt free to make plans without reservation and live the summer to its fullest without tempering myself for the "what if" that comes every time you step foot in the oncology door.
I can now live with abandon for the next three months (okay, okay, within the confines of making sure my kids get to school, we all have clean underwear, yada, yada, yada).
The blog is AWESOME Jen! So happy to hear about the clear scan!

The First Mile - Training this Saturday at 7:00 AM - Valley Forge
A personal message from Amanda Goble, our Team In Training Campaign Coordinator:
For the Walk Team and the Nike runners this weekend is the one that you looked ahead to months ago and thought "no way will I be able to run/walk that far." Well guess, what you are ready! You have put in the miles, you have trained, and you have continually proven to yourself just how much you are capable of. This weekend will just be another benchmark in this experience, and we will be there right alongside you. Eat right and rest up – there is this little run/walk that is on tap for Saturday. See you then!
GROUP TRAINING
ALL TEAMS - Saturday, September 29th at 7:00 AM – Valley Forge
Nike Team as well as Dublin Walk Team this is your big one! Come out to training and get the miles in here. You will be glad that you did. I will once again have fundraising incentives with me, and let me know if you need me to bring anything from the office!
TEAM NEWS

Each of you doing amazing things on an individual level, and together that is combining to do incredible things as a group. Thank you!

Mission Moment - Team In Training Websites
A personal message from Amanda Goble:
Each of you carries your own reasons for doing Team In Training. Sometimes people are looking for a challenge, or a way to give back, and in many cases you are doing TNT in honor or memory of a friend or family member. I encourage you, when you may be sore from a long training, or seemingly at an end with your fundraising, to look at the websites of your teammates. Just use the names listed below in the fundraising updates and search them via the following website: http://www.active.com/lls/tnt/search.cfm.
Chances are you will be motivated, inspired, and in many cases even moved to tears by the thoughts shared by some. We are all in this together, and we must lean and rely on one another in order to not only cross our individual finish lines, but also the ultimate finish line – which is to find a cure. Take a few minutes to look through some of these sites and you will very much be reminded of the true reason for TNT and why all of you are working so hard.

The First Mile - Training this Sunday at 7:00 AM - Valley Green
A personal message from Amanda Goble, our Team In Training Campaign Coordinator:
Congratulations to all of you who completed PDR as a training run/walk this past weekend. It was wonderful to see you guys out there, and I hope that the race day experience just got you even more excited about the things you have done and will continue to do through this program. The PDR Team itself was extremely successful and we had a tremendous first fall event. Following this weekend we will get into our longest mileages of the season. Make sure to listen to your coaches and now, more than ever, is the time to get out to the group trainings! I know, from personal experience, it is easier and a lot more fun to do these distances with teammates, coaches and friends. I know that alarm goes off early on Saturday and Sundays but you will not regret getting out there with the Team. Hope to see you this weekend!

The First Mile - Philadelphia Distance Run at 7:00 AM - TNT Tent at Eakins Oval
A personal message from Amanda Goble, our Team In Training Campaign Coordinator:
The PDR Team has been wished well and they are in the final preparation mode for their event on Sunday. Many of you are using this weekend as a Training run/walk. The weather looks beautiful and the event itself is always fantastic! Please feel free to use the TNT Tent located in Eakins Oval (right near the start line) as your meeting point. I would aim to meet around 7:00 AM. Remember to encourage each other out on the course, thank the volunteers, and WEAR YOUR TNT GEAR!!! I would also recommend that you write your name on your shirt so that people cheer for you by name. Please note that the TNT Tent is used to check in only the participants who PDR is their official event. For you guys not registered for the race, you do not need to check in or out. GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN AND I'LL SEE YOU THERE!
GROUP TRAINING
NO OFFICIAL GROUP TRAINING THIS WEEKEND
Since all of our coaches (and most of you) will be running/walking PDR this weekend, there is no official training outside of that event.

I guarantee that it will get you really excited for your own event!

The First Mile - Training this Saturday at 7:00 AM - Valley Forge
A personal message from Amanda Goble, our Team In Training Campaign Coordinator:
This is the last Team email with everyone included. Next week the PDR Team will be getting their Send-Off email as they start on their final preparation. Where did the summer go? Congratulations on the long mileage that you put in this past week. I hope that you gloated about your accomplishments at any Labor Day BBQs that you may have attended over the holiday weekend. Now that everyone is home more often on the weekends I hope that we'll be able to see more people out at training. Now that the miles are big do your best to make it out to training. I am looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend! Also, congratulations to PDR participant Tim Moxey who just eclipsed the $10,000 raised mark!
GROUP TRAINING
ALL TEAMS – Saturday, September 8th at 7:00 AM – Valley Forge
I will be there bearing a TON of gifts. I have a bunch of fundraising incentives, including the Nike training gear for the Team that won the fundraising challenge, as well as PDR goodie bags. I can't stay the entire time and will be there from 6:45 AM - 8:00 AM. Please grab anything you need from me before you go out running/walking. Two weeks without seeing you guys seems like forever – see you bright and early!
Bucks County Trainings Canceled
Please note that due to a lack of attendance that the two remaining Bucks Country Trainings have been canceled. We will only have the one training location for the rest of the year.

I can't stay the entire time and will be there from 6:45 AM - 8:00 AM. Please grab anything you need from me before you go out running/walking. Two weeks without seeing you guys seems like forever – see you bright and early!
Bucks County Trainings Canceled
Please note that due to a lack of attendance that the two remaining Bucks Country Trainings have been canceled. We will only have the one training location for the rest of the year.
TEAM NEWS
We Need PDR Volunteers!
For 35 of you, PDR is your official TNT event. For many others, you are using it as a training. For those who aren't participating we need your help. Come support your teammates on race day at the TNT water stop. It is an early morning, but I promise that it will be a lot of fun. We need volunteers from 5:30 AM – 10:30 AM Sunday the 16th. Please let me know if you are able to help. Also, feel free to invite friends and family! Thanks so much.
PDR Team: Goodie bags! You need to get these from me at training this weekend or else stop by the office. Please make plans to do so.
THE HOME STRETCH
We made it through the summer and now we are quickly approaching our events. Think about how much money you've raised and how many miles you've trained. Take pride in knowing that you've made a difference! THANK YOU!!!
GO TEAM!!!
