Racing to Save Lives




Welcome to my Team In Training home page.



I'm training for the Mayor's Marathon in Anchorage (Alaska) on June 20th as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. And yes I'm going to run in these wooden shoes.....

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia,

lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am

completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling

blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we

need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!



Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In

Training and help advance LLS's mission.




I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back

frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!


Sunday, February 8. We had our first team run a 3 mile run along the beach in Santa Monica. We have a nice big group of about 80 runners, this will be a great season.


Sunday, March 1. After a couple of weeks we are up to run 7 miles, from now on the workouts will become more intense and stamina is being build fast.


We started to include hill training during the week, this is a real intense training but it will benifit our strenght. Last weekend March 22, we had a nice trail run. It was a bit cold in the Santa Monica mountains with one of the last winter storms comming in. A bit rainy and windy but great a scenery.


I've been plagued with some minor injuries this season, but I feel good for the last couple of weeks and am ready for the marathon.

This Sunday May 31st, we will run once again 20 miles, the final long distance before we taper down for the marathon. We only have a small team left since this weekend most of the TNT-ers are running the San Diego Marathon.

    "Good Luck in Alaska. Don't use salmon or honey scented shampoo, and remember to run down hill when chased by a bear. "
