Has Running a Marathon Ever Crossed Your Mind? →
The thought of running a marathon was a bit of a fantasy for me. It’s pretty much the equivalent of pondering biking across America. Sure, it would be cool, but I don’t even know where to begin. Training? Self discipline? No thanks. But then my roommate, Jen, started training with TNT, and I was amazed. Just this past week she ran 20 miles, and I thought, wow, I’ve seen her do...

Run #1 - 4.10.08 - 2.5 miles

Hearing our honored teammates speak always helps to remember why I’m doing this. Sure, I’m going to be in...

My Mission
Dear Friends and Family, This blog will be my running journal for the next 6 months. I have decided that wanting to make a difference is not the same as actually making a difference, and this has begun to weigh on my heart. I often think that maybe “when I have more money” I will be able to make a larger impact, but this is simply not true. So with that, I am challenging self —...
