I've been involved with Team in Training since 2005. I completed the Mardi Gras half marathon in New Orleans my first season . I then returned in 2007 to train for my first full marathon. I completed the Long Beach Marathon that October. Since then, I've never left the team. 8 seasons, 1 marathon, 10 half marathons, and over $10K raised for LLS later..... here I am returning for more. I challenged myself to complete the Malibu Triathlon in September 2009. I can barely swim, I haven't been on a bike since I was 7 and I do NOT run (I walk). So completing this Tri will be the biggest challenge for me yet.
I've been planning to fundraise and train for this triathlon for over a year now. I've been preparing by taking swim lessons and boasting to all of my friends that I will be joining the tri team. I've made amazing friends by being part of Team in Training and I am excited for what lies ahead for me and for the amazing opportunities and developments LLS will break through with. I pray and will have a new found inspiration for continuing to fight against blood cancers ......
PS: My fundraising site will be posted as soon as I am officially a registered participant, trust me, you'll get the link *wink*
