Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your continued support with my training! And thank you to everyone who has thus far donated to Team in Training, everyone’s support means a lot! Sometimes when I have to get up in the morning to run I think “this is crazy!” but then I see all the support I’ve gotten and I know that I’m doing a good thing! So thank you! This past weekend I ran in the Encinitas 5K, the weather was beautiful and it was a good crowd. A 5k is a little over 3 miles and I ran it in a little over 30 minutes, so it was a good time for me. Things are only getting started, as time goes on I’ll be in a 10K, a half marathon and then dun-dun-dunnnn the FULL marathon in San Fran! Yikes! But I can’t wait I’m excited!!

Each year millions of people will be affected in some way by Cancer. While we’ve yet to find the cure, it’s comforting to know that there are people out there who’ve dedicated their lives to eradicating Cancer. I’ve learned through personal experience that this disease affects not only the patient, but all who are a part of their life. I’ve felt the fear, anxiety and helplessness at the thought of losing a loved one, and fortunately been lucky enough to bare witness to the absolute joy and love that comes with a patient’s recovery.

Recently I’ve decided that I’d like to be a small part of the cure by taking on a large challenge. In October I’ll be running my very first Marathon, the Nike Women’s Marathon, who’s proceeds will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I’ll admit the concept of running a Marathon is a little daunting but I feel like I’m up to the task and am very excited to be a part of something that could potentially benefit so many.

I won’t ask you to run the 26 miles with me, but I would like all who read this to consider making a donation of any size to help me reach my goal of $3,300. It’s a large sum, but it’s also a wonderful cause that we can all be proud of supporting. I’ve included a link below that will direct you to my donations page, any amount is helpful and greatly appreciated! Thanks to everyone for your support!
