Running With a Purpose



Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I have always loved to run! In high school I was called the 'smiling miler' because I did everything with a smile on my face. I never was super good at running but it became one of my favorite ways to keep fit and biggest stress relief! In the back of my mind I always thought about running a marathon. When I received a letter from LLS about Team in Training it seemed like a great opportunity. I am almost always running for myself and now I get the opportunity to help others while doing something I love!

I attempted to train last year but was sidelined by an injury that kept me from running for a few months. Again this year I thought I was going to give up my marathon hopes again when I lost the best man on Earth to cancer on November 19th. My dad lost his battle with bone cancer. But I know he will be there with me to train and run the entire thing. I will be dedicating my first marathon and my year 2009 to him.



I will also be running in honor of everyone who has or has had leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease or myeloma. In spirit of Team in Training I am raising money to help fight the evil that is cancer!



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!



Also check out my blog where I update about my training for the 26.2 mile run!
