I've always wanted to be a runner - which sounds SO dorky - and figured this is the best way to force myself into it. I first looked at doing triathlon stuff because I'm fine in the water and on the bike but decided if I really wanted to become a runner I'd better go with the marathon.
I've been keeping a daily blog about my journey towards runnerdom. It's not always pretty and the progress has been very very slow. I'm still going though!!
As part of Team in Training I'm raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society. I've been fortunate enough not to have anyone close to me effected by this disease. I do believe that any research in the fight against cancer is good. Just because the dollars are going to blood cancers doesn't mean it won't benefit the global fight against cancer. Unfortunately cancer has definitely touched my life more than a few times.
Okay that's all.
