Good Morning!
So, in the spirit of being healthier and fulfilling my goals, I have joined an organization called Team in Training. Team ub Training (TNT) is an organization that trains people how to run/walk/cycle their way through an endurance event, like a marathon, or a triathalon. The nice thing about TNT is that while they train people to do these events, those participants in the organization are responsible for raising a certain minimum that will go to the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society (LLS). The LLS then uses the funds that have been raised to work on finding a cure for blood cancers (like Leukemia and Lymphoma) and providing support for patients with these cancers, to make living with them less painful and increase the survival rate. YAY!
So, I have joined this organization in hopes of running the Rock 'n Roll Marathon in San Diego on June 1. Now, I know that this is a stretch, seeing as though I have not run more than about 4 1/2 miles at one time.... ever, but I think that with the correct training, if I put my mind to this, I can do it!
I am posting my fundraising site below, so that if anyone reads this blog and is inclined to help me out with my fundraising, you can donate on the site. LLS guarenties that at least 75% of the money raised goes directly to the cause, which, if you have never looked at the admin percentage of a non-profit before, is pretty good! :)

Anyway, I am ending this blog there, thanks for reading.
