Racing to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
This is my third season running & fundraising with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team in Training, and this time I am mentoring great group of participants in Marin. I'm training to run the Nike Women's Half Marathon this October '08 in San Francisco. 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!
Update, September 21:
Thank you so much to all who have donated. I have surpassed my goal by several hundred dollars! I can of course still accept contributions to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, so if you haven't donated yet and would like to, it's not too late.
My training's been going well. Yesterday I ran a "preview course" in San Francisco which included 11 miles of the same route we'll go on the day of the Nike Women's Half Marathon. Having already run this race last year as well, the most exciting part yesterday was encountering the hills again and finding them to be not that difficult! I mean yeah, they're still freakin' hard, but it's wonderful to see the changes in my relationship with running and how the "challenges," as Coach Joe likes to call them, become more manageable with practice and an adjustment in mental perspective. Hmm, sounds like another one to put down under "running as a metaphor for life." Cheezy, but true.
Just about a month left until race day! If you're interested in more gory details of my running and training, please visit my running blog: http://runlizrun.wordpress.com/ I can't promise it will be pretty.
Thanks again for all of your support!

And, you know, has it ever occurred to you, that, instead of, uh, you know, running around, uh, uh, blaming me, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, I-I-I-I... this could be a-a-a-a lot more, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple... uh, you know?" | |
