Welcome to my Team In Training fundraising page for the 2010 year! This will be my third year participating with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's marathon team to help raise funds for the research to ultimately cure blood cancers.


Since I have already completed two Chicago Marathons, I will be doing things a little differently this year.


My resolution for the 2010 year is to log 1000 miles in running, but to also run 100 miles in races with Team in Training. I have set myself these incredible physical goals as well as my fundraising goal in hopes that not only will I help beat cancer, but also inspire so many other people to get involved with their communities.




I have various races scheduled and planned this year, with more to be added along the way. Here are some of the races and distances that I will be running to hit my 100 mile racing goal!



January-Walt Disney World Marathon 26.2 Completed! 5:04:30

March-Shamrock Shuffle 5.1 Personal Record of 43:28, My team of 8 TNT members placed 10th out of 53 teams!!!!

May-Illinois Marathon Relay 6.5 (running with three other ladies who are part of TNT) We finished in 3:49:06...that was good for a 3rd PLACE OUT OF 90 FEMALE TEAMS!!! 37th out of 311 total teams (this includes boys and co-ed teams)

Chicago Spring Half Marathon 13.1 Setting another Personal Record of 1:56:35 (over 21 minutes faster than my last half marathon!)

July-Chicago Firefighter 5K 3.1

Terrapin 5K 3.1

September-Disneyland Half Marathon 13.1 Finished in the top 10% of all female runners!

October-Chicago Marathon 26.2 Finished with injuries in 4:53:30!

Chicago Lakefront Ultra Marathon 30 miles!
