WELCOME!!!

WELCOME!!!
On May 14th, 2007 we joined Team in Training and became part of our first ever marathon adventure. A marathon dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. Signing up for a 26mile race was a very scary experience to say the least!!! To be honest, we can both find ourselves out of breath running up the basement stairs, LOL!!! When we found out about TNT we felt it was a great way to get in shape while supporting a well deserved cause. The following blogs are journal entries of what the process was really like for us. From first day training, till race day, we'll be keeping a log of our efforts, set-backs and triumphs. We'll also keep you posted on our fundraising achievements. Check back from time to time to see how we're doing. We'll need encouragement and support during this process, but not as much as those battling cancer!

June 9th - New Mile Stone

Felt good today - needed the day off yesterday. I teamed up with about five runners for what started out to be 6miles. Half way through we stopped at a water station and all decided to push our miles to 9. Glad I had others to run with on this one. I finished the 9 miles in 1hr./24min. Excluding the two water stops I averaged an 8min./50sec. mile. That's certainly a new mile stone for me. This was the first time I walked away from a run feeling like I could actually complete the marathon. Many thanks to those pushing me along!!!
