The Beginning

Welcome to my new training blog!

In 2010 I ran the Sun Run. I trained with a group and one of my leaders was also training to run a full marathon in Greece with Team in Training.  The idea of training for an event while raising money and awareness for a good cause appealed to me so I tucked the idea into the back of my head.

Fast forward four years and here we are.  It is time.  My kids are at an age where I can focus a little more on myself and I am approaching the age of 40.  These things combined made training for an event seem like something I could do right now.  After much discussion with Ward and my friend Stacy (who I am hoping will sign up as well), I decided to try the world of triathlon.

I hope you will follow along with me as I train and try to raise $5000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  I know there are so many great causes out there but if you can please take a minute to donate or pass this blog along to someone who can.
