The First Mile - Training this Saturday at 8:00 AM - Valley Forge

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

The Dublin and Marine Corps Team are safely back, and one of the first emails I saw when I returned was from Coach Kevin saying how great of a job you Philly Marathoners did at training this past weekend. Sounds like it was absolutely pouring, yet you guys stuck it out and completed your longest training run. Congratulations on having both the mental and physical strength to overcome the obstacles that were presented that morning. After going through something like that you guys are totally ready for your event. Follow that taper and please let myself, Coach Kevin or Coach Eric know if you have any questions leading up to Philly as it quickly approaches! Looking forward to seeing you guys out there this weekend.

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.
