First Team In Training Event 2007 Nike Women's Marathon



I'm Going The ULTRA Distance!!!!


This year it's time to go ULTRA CRAZY and take on another challenge-running the Tamalpa Headlands 50K Ultra Marathon on August 25th, 2012. What's an Ultra? It's a distance beyond a marathon (or 26.2 miles) and this 50k is approximately 31.5 miles. The Headlands 50k course is incredibly beautiful (and hilly as you can see from the elevation map-- http://www.headlands50k.org/course.php), running through the redwood rain forests, along the coastal bluffs, ridges and wildflowers. The course consists of a mix of single track and fire roads and covers lots of trails in the Marin area including Tennessee Valley, Rodeo Beach, Miwok Trail, the infamous Dipsea Trail, and something called Cardiac Hill (hmmm). This will be my first Ultra but not my last. I'm utilizing this event as a stepping stone towards my ultimate goal of a 50 mile ultra distance (to happen this coming Fall) which could potentially lead me to qualify for the Western States 100.


The Reason Why I'm Doing This: Besides wanting to test my physical and mental capabilities... I made it my personal mission to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. Over the past years, as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training, I have participated in numerous sports endurance events (marathons, Death Ride cycling event and an Ironman distance triathlon). Like the other members of TNT, I am constantly trying to raise funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. I’m improving the quality of my life and potentially someone you might know. With your support, we can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families.


Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures. ***** Let me remind you that 75% of all funds raised goes directly to LLS. Your donation, large or small is always considered a tax write off.

"For me, a good teammate is one who sets an example by displaying dedication & determination toward their goals. But, a great teammate is one who also cares about their fellow teammates and the personal challenges that they must overcome. I am honored and blessed to have you as a teammate and to have made such a wonderful new friend. It's not a matter of IF you'll complete everything on your bucket list but WHEN! :) Best wishes in everything you set out to accomplish and, of course, GO TEAM!"
