I will tri(umph)

Three years ago, I was very doubtful I would ever sign up to run a marathon. But, that morning in the Fall of '06, I decided to accompany my colleagues to a Team in Training (TNT) informational meeting anyway. I listened as volunteers spoke about TNT, describing it as a “life-changing experience,†so enthusiastic I couldn’t help wondering if they were on drugs. Little did I realize that they were indeed on drugs, of the "running" kind—endorphins produced in the brain that result in what’s commonly called a “runner’s high.†After two seasons with the Team, I can say that I’m absolutely addicted. At the kick-off this Saturday morning, May 30th of 2009, I had absolutely no doubt as I signed up for my third event—and first triathlon!—the Big Kahuna Half-Ironman.

My Goal

SWIM 1.2 + BIKE 56 + RUN 13.1 + RAISE $3300.

I'm training as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training, and raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.

Thanks for your support!
