I'm finally getting around to posting what's been happening for the past 2 weeks in running. 2 weeks ago, we had our Honored Teammate Picnic. After running 10 miles, we headed back to Paradise Point for a picnic with both of our teams, plus some special guests - our honored teammates. These people are blood cancer survivors, or they're still in the process of fighting the battle. They shared their stories and continue to motivate and inspire us to train.
The youngest of our honored teammates is Angel. He's only 2 1/2 years old and he's undergoing chemotherapy for ALL (
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). Angel's parents and friends Mark and Kyle on part of Team in Training, and make up the team, Angel Jr.'s Soldiers, who are running in Angel's honor.
Then, this past Saturday we took part in an annual Team in Training tradition, called the World Famous Trolley Run. We hop on the trolley near USD, rode it to the downtown train station, then ran a 14-mile route back to the trolley station. On Sunday, I headed to Big Bear with my family for a day of skiing. Then, yesterday I went for a run with my friend and teammate, Amanda, at Santee Lakes. Whew! Time to take a break from exercise for a few days.
