Running Like a Girl

In a fit of madness perhaps induced by too much California sun, I signed up to run in the Nike Women's Marathon in October. I have joined a training team that raises funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma research, called Team in Training (acronym is TNT, not TIT, btw). It is going to be a pretty tough training schedule particularly for someone like me who thinks running for a bus as a workout.....but I'm hoping that I'll get there with the support of the team, friends and family.

Of course the rub is that I have to raise $2,400 but it is for a great cause and the dollar is weak against the pound so I'm hoping it won't be too hard! They have set me up with all sorts of clever things like a website where people can donate using their credit cards. So all I need to do is get my running shoes on.......I'll keep you posted.....
