Marathon #2

Yup, it's TRUE! I swore I would never run again after the Portland Marathon in 2002 and I managed to avoid it for 3 years. Then it happened...I got the email to alumni about how the team needed us...cancer patients needed us...and they were training for the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco on October 23rd. How could I resist? I know they can make me an endurance MACHINE. If anyone can get me into shape, it's TNT.

Plus, I realize that cancers touch so many lives and I need to do my part to combat them. In exchange for training me to be a Run Master I get to do some fundraising! If you're interested in contributing to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society please visit my website at www.active.com/donate/tntgsf/tntgsfsstaffo . I'll be posting more fundraising events as I come across them!

Right now though, I need to go to sleep 'cause I have a 4 mile run in the morning in Danville. One of the greatest things about TNT is that they introduce you to a ton of beautiful new parks and trails! See you on the trail!
