Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I'm training to participate in my first (but not last!) marathon! Pending the New York Road Runner's lottery I will run either the ING NYC Marathon or the Nike Women's Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training for the Fall 2009 season.

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.

Please feel free to follow my progress on my training blog, What We Blog About When We Blog About Running.

I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!

(Yes, that's me narrowly defeating that older gentleman. He's faster than he looks and he's been running his whole life! I'm just getting started!)
