Today was the kick off rally for my Team in Training project to become an "endurance athlete" and run the Nike Women's Half Marathon in October. There were about 300 people from the Greater Los Angeles area, all of whom will either be training for a run/walk a marathon (or half), a triathlon, a century race or an Iron Man.
We were introduced to our coaches and mentors. I can't remember the name of our coaches and my
mentor wasn't there, but next week when the formal training starts, we'll be meeting everyone. We also received our training singlets and water bottles. Whoohoo!
Lots of inspirational stories from cancer patients and survivors, as well as motivation by some very, very successful fundraisers from the Spring training. The bar is set very high! (I hope you'll help me, help cancer patients and get a tax deduction!)
My running buddies -- Jan, John and Erica -- joined me at the event and we're ready to roll next week in Santa Monica!
