Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. 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!

So this morning we did an 8 mile run/walk in Porter Ranch. The combination of those hills and that torrid sun was just beastly. And you know your definitely working those calves over time when you start to feel that pintching in the back of them. But even after all the soreness and so forth you know its all entirly worth while, because your doing it for a justly cause.

*Hey guys I'm doing a Benefit Night at T.G.I. Friday's on Tuesday, August 10th. It's from 5 P.M. - 10 P.M. and is located at three different locations for your convenience. The reason for this fundraising benefit is to help raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. To help find a cure for these deadly diseases, which don't only effect the people who have it, but also effects all their loved ones around them.

I know that I can only imagine what it would feel like to have one of these diseases, and have to live day by day not knowing how I'll feel the next day. "Will i be able to get up in the morning..?" or even "Will i live through another day..?" But I know one thing i can say, and that is the fact that if indeed i did have one of these diseases, i would definitely feel a lot better knowing that there were people out there helping me fight.

So please take your family and even your friends and take one of these flyer's and go out and have a good time and some great food at T.G.I Friday's on August 10th. And know that while your there enjoying yourselves, you've just helped us get one step closer to finding a cure and saving lives.

P.S. If you need a flyer please contact me at my personal email address at: cbabyk85@hotmail.com and I will be happy to send you the link for each location Porter Ranch, Valencia and Woodland Hills. Please print out the one that is for your location and take it there when you go. Just simply hand the flyer to your waiter when you get your check and 20% of the proceeds will be given to The Leukemia & Lymphoma society. And if you can't go then please send the flyers to your friends and family and get them to go.

Thank You in advance for helping with this great cause.

So this mornings practice took place at Balboa Park, half Marathoners did 9 miles. Which is one full loop around all of Balboa Park, plus an extra little bend around it. We got there at 6:30 A.M. and did our morning anouncments (which consists of all the fundraising events and stuff coming up). We did our warm-up jog and our stretching and then we were off. I was very extatic to find that the weather was pretty cool this morning. Though I will admit that once your body starts moving, no matter how cool the weather is, it still feels hot out. Haha So I was extreamly proud of myself today, because I was finally able to make it around Balboa Park doing the run/fast-paced walking intervals. I did however have to slow down a bit around the last 2 miles, because my right leg was starting to cramp up and I couldn't fully extend it. But I still made it to the finish in time and I was thankful for that. Hopefully next week I'll be able to do a little more running, we'll see..!
