I'm doing 43 things
Amazing how you have to run this much when you are training for something! I’ve found that running before work keeps me from skipping out on it later and making up excuses not to.

Ran my first marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training!!! Over 3000 runners and walkers participated in the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon and raised a combined $12 million! I am sooooo glad I had this experience, especially with the team. It would have been a completely different experience if I had done it on my own. Next up is the VA Beach half and teh Baltimore full. I love this sport!
I decided in January to join Team In Training, an organization that trains people to do endurance events while raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. To date TNT has raised over 800 million dollars. I never could train for one if I didn’t have the support of a team and the knowledge that I am doing it for a good cause. A runner in highschool, I haven’t done much on a regular basis since them.
In January I could barely make 3 miles at once. Yesterday I ran 17.4 miles :-)
If you want to do it, just go for it instead of waiting around! I thought about building up with other races, but decided that since this is my ultimate goal, I will just go for it.
I’m doing the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego June 1!
