Time is Ticking Away

Tonight I hope to get a full run around the lake & feel good doing it! I've got to get back in the groove since this weekend we have a "long run". The miles are going to start piling up on me & I have less than one month to prepare.

Nice Try

Well it was more of a walk than a run but it was mostly due to the upset tummy that hit about 1/2 way around the lake.

Tomorrow back to track with Coach. That will be fun.

Back to a Routine

I return to my weekly buddy run tonight. I've been off my feet 14 days. This will be interesting. I'll let you know how it went.

Standing Room Only

The memorial service for my dad was an amazing celebration of a life well lived & a man well loved. Thank you to everyone who has walked with me during the last few weeks as he fought to stay around another day.

Heaven is probably still cleaning up the mess from his welcome party.

I miss you, Dad. Thanks for all your love and laughter.

Like A Thief in the Night

I steal another post from my pal Phil

On a different note, I am pimping my Marathon Coach, Mama Lisa's Hike For Discovery Fundraising webpage. She doesn't know i'm doing this and is too modest to ask for assistance. Mama Lisa has been a Coach with TNT for 11 years and will be a participant hiking the Grand Canyon. Her goal is to raise $4,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Mama Lisa is a very special person and she along with Coach Al have laid the foundation for me to do all these wonderful endurance events. For that, I can never thank them enough. If you ever been fortunate to be touched by their generosity and kindness, this would be a great way to give another thanks. So if you are able to assist (every little bit helps) and want to rid blood cancers, please donate on her behalf here:

This is my third season with Team in Training and I couldn't have done any of this without her. Since I'm not fundraising this season I ask that you make a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through Mama Lisa

Thanks to Mama Lisa I am an endurance athlete.

Beautiful Day for a Run

I will post my official time for the Emerald Across the Bay 12K when it's announced by race organizers. But regardless of my speed it was a perfect day. I got a little sun on my nose & my legs are feeling it today but it was all good & well worth it.

You Are Invited

Last year I introduced you to my team's honoree, Brenda. Unfortunately she lost her battle mid-way through my first season with TNT. Her friends are holding a 5K fun run in her honor. Everyone is welcome to participate. Funds raised will go to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Help us find a cure for blood cancers.


What is Brenda Donato’s Rainbow Run?
A fun 5K run & walk to remember Brenda Donato, a wife and mother of two who lost her battle with leukemia on April 14th, 2007.
