Week 4 Update

So...welcome to my blog! I'm new to the blogging world, but thought I'd create this blog so my weekly updates wouldn't begin to take over my Team in Training webpage. So, thanks for visiting! This week we did 5 miles. It's amazing when you get talking to people how fast it goes by. The run was a little bit humid, but we were definitely thankful it wasn't raining - although, on second thought we really need every bit of rain, it's just that it's not too fun to run in sopping wet shoes :). I'll be running this week in sunny Orlando (temp supposed to be up to 81!!) - we have an Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists conference to attend, so maybe I can recruit some of my classmates to come explore Orlando with me on my runs.

So training is going well, we had a team pizza party (for the San Diego Marathoners) this past Saturday and met our honored team hero, Erin (yes another Erin!) I'm privileged to be running for two amazing Erins! Our team hero Erin was also diagnosed with Acute Mylogeous Leukemia in January last year. She is currently in remission and doing well. Erin's husband Dan is my Mentor for the San Diego race. Mentors are someone who trains with the team and motivate us as someone who's you know....been there, done that.

I'm really glad to be doing Team in Training. Everyone has been super supportive and nice. Other than running I'm trying to of course fundraise, fundraise, fundraise!! Which if you've ever fundraised know it can be challenging some times. So if anyone has any ideas about creative ways to raise money for a good cause, has connections to local businesses, etc...please send them my way!!

But I think I've rambled on enough for today. Thanks again for visiting my blog and check back soon if you'd like to keep up with my progress. Until next week - take care and God Bless!
