The First Mile - Training this Saturday at 7:00 AM - Valley Forge

A personal message from Amanda Goble, our Team In Training Campaign Coordinator:

Congratulations to all of you who completed the longest mileage that you will do prior to your event this past weekend. Best of luck to those of who are you doing your longest this weekend. At this point you guys are more than ready. Take care of yourselves, make a last big push with that fundraising and start making plans for event weekend. I am so proud of this team and all of our accomplishments. This weekend also marks the official event for our few people who are participating in the Chicago Marathon. They have been wished well from me, but make sure you have them in your thoughts on Sunday!

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.
