Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page!

I am training to do the Nike Women's Half Marathon. Team in Training not only allows me to raise money for the leukemia lymphoma society but it also trains me to complete the 13.1 miles up and down the hills of San Francisco! I am so excited about completing the marathon and I truly appreciate your contribution! With your help we can find a cure! Until then I am going to keep on walking...

Love,

Tiffany

My Reasons for particpating in the Nike Womens Marathon:

Although it is a challenge and something I have never done before there is one main reason I know that I can do this, Tomas. My cousin just turned 3 and has been battling Leukemia since he was 1 1/2. Tomas was able to go into the hospital weekly and have poison injected into his body despite being afraid and not knowing what would happen. How can I then justify not facing my fears, battling with my body to become an endurance athlete, and taking on the challenge of just 13.1 miles? I cant. But just like Tomas, I need a little help on my journey. While Tomas had a fabulous staff of well-trained doctors on his side, I just have a kindhearted team of people with a purpose of coming together to overcome a small challenge, my first endurance event, and raising a small fortune to help fight cancer. By donating any amount, even just $5, you are letting me know that you want to be a part of my team, Team Tomas.

Today I completed 12 miles! I cannot believe it! Although it was exhausting I now know that I can finish my marathon! This is the longest mileage to date , that I have ever gone! My body is tired and not too sure what just went on, but I made it! Go Team Tomas!

The marathon is getting so close! I have been sick the last week so keeping up with training has been tough. Nonetheless I am so excited for the race, only 2 weeks! I cant believe I have gotten this far!

I am only a few days away from the marathon and I cant believe I have made it this far! This past Saturday was our final "official" TNT training. It was only 5 miles and it was easy! I never thought I would say that! I am so excited and cant wait for race day! I am also nervous about everything that needs to be done before Sunday. All I know is that I am going to complete my 13.1 miles on Sunday. This is for you Tomas!! Go Team Tomas!
