Hi everyone! I know it's been a while since my last post and that's because I've been so busy with training, I just haven't had the time to blog! Anyway, here's a progress report. So, the Saturday morning runs with my team are gradually increasing in length. Next Saturday will be a 5 mile run for me! Yikes! I'm trying to get more outdoor running done during the week but the Nor'easter's are making it way too difficult. Team in Training has been a great experience so far. We had a shoe and clothing clinic where we got fitted for new running shoes and I got a new running jacket to keep me warm on these long winter runs. We've also had a nutrition clinic. I learned what I should be eating before, during and after my runs to fuel my body. For the longest time I couldn't understand why I was so hungry all the time. Turns out that all this running has really revved up my metabolism and so my body needs more fuel and thus, the increase in appetite. This is why many of you see me grazing at work all day!
I've posted a picture of my team. We are all training for different events (marathon, triathalon, hikes) while raising funds to help cure cancer. We are all working hard at fund-raising but need your help to reach our goal.
Thanks to the generosity of friends and family I am off to a good start but still have a long way to go before I reach my personal fund-raising goal. Please help me find a cure for Leukemia and Lymphoma by clicking on the link to my personal fund-raising website. No donation is too small.
