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!

May 27th - VICTORY!!!


Kelly and I decided to get up early and take turns getting in a long run around the neighborhood. I was able to get in a 5mile run in 39min/49sec. Notice I didn't say 40min. - nor will I! LOL. Around the 2nd mile I REALLY wanted to give up, wanted to walk the rest of the way. Kept thinking about those people that are enduring MUCH harder difficulties with cancer; my sister-in-laws mother and a former student of mine immediately came to mind. I also thought about the struggles my dad went through many years ago, how he must have felt trying to overcome this disease. It certainly helped me get through the run, but as you can see I literally collapsed when I got home!!!!!
