PROGRESS IN A NUTSHELL. . .

As of September October 6, 2008 I have shifted my training schedule to run-commuting to work 4 days a week (a 10.6 mile round trip).

Also, I am now running the Atlanta Weather Channel Marathon on November 27, 2008. Unfortunately the Team In Training Program has frozen my donation page, so I am sad to report that it is not possible to donate to my campaign any longer. I would like to thank all those who have donated time, resources, encouragement and prayers.

AORTA


Well, I had a great week that ended with a run with the Auburn-Opelika Running and Track Association (AORTA, http://www.auburnrunning.org/). What a great group! You out to check them out if you are ever in town.


Becuase I am so far away from any local chpater of the Leukiemia and Lymphoma Society (Atlanta or Birmingham) I joined the Virtual Team in Training (VTNT) where I keep in touch with my coaches and the LLS staff via e-mail and conference calls. While it is convenient to not have to travel and to train on my own, it can be a little lonely at times. AORTA has a number of TNT alumni and even former coaches and I appreciated their encouragement and comaraderie this morning. Tracy gave me my first warm greeting and Robin pulled me in on the homestretch to complete this morning's 10 miles--the furthest I have ever run at one time. Thanks y'all. I know that I have a long way to go before I do 26 miles, but help like that will keep me on schedule.


Now onto fundraising. You kan help me with that by clicking here.
