Team In Training aka TNT

I met this lady the other day where I work (she was wearing a marathon shirt) and since I was looking for people to join me in the June 30th run, Live Ultimate in San Francisco, I struck up a conversation with her.   She mentioned a running group she was in and that she would pass my information on to her friends.  If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have the team I have for the Live Ultimate run.

It gets even better.......

So because I stepped out of my comfort zone and made a new running friend I am now getting information and the opportunity to join Team In Training.  If you aren't familiar with TNT they help you get ready for a marathon or even a 1/2 marathon.  Certified coaches will expand your fitness level with workouts, nutrition and hydration clinics.  In the past 25 years and with more than $1.3 billion raised, TNT has helped LLS (The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) fund cancer treatments like chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, which have a significant impact on the lives of blood cancer patients.

This is important to me since my mom is a survivor of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I don't know what I would do without my mom, and I don't want others to have to try to live without someone they love if they don't have to.  This will be my way of giving back and honoring my mom and the fight she faced and WON!!!

So now with only one 5k and one mud run under my belt, I am signed up for 3 more 5k's (one being a color run) and a 1/4 marathon and looking to add a 1/2 marathon to that list too.  I'm meeting with a coach this Friday and I'm hoping to sign up by my birthday.  So I'll keep you posted!!!

Here is more information in case you would like to sign up too.
