I'm training for my first race & I'm pretty excited! I've run off & on, but never gotten into a consistent schedule. So I joined Team in Training to give me a consistent schedule & a goal to reach for. So far, it's going awesome! I'm already up to running 4 or 5 miles at a time and I'm training for a half-marathon coming up in May. Not bad considering I started with run/walking in December.

The other awesome part of Team in Training is that it's not just helping me reach my fitness goals, it's also raising money for a good cause. We're raising money for Leukemia & Lymphoma research. Some of the money even goes to the patients - to help them get access to the treatments they need.

So... here's the shameless plug. I'm on my way to my goal of $4000 for blood cancer research. Please visit my website for updates, and if blood cancer has ever affected you or your family, I hope you'll consider making a donation!

Good luck and well done on your efforts so far, however I'm sorry to tell you this, but your chosen charity is on the attached list of charities that fund animal experiments, and hence won't be getting a donation from me.
