JAM and Dan in Training: Sweaty Pie

Sweaty Pie

Can you see how SOAKED I am in this picture? No, it's not because I was running in the rain. I wimped out and ran my 7 miles this morning on the treadmill instead of with the team - partly because of the weather forecast and partly because I need to prepare for the onslaught of numerous 12 and 13 year olds coming over this afternoon for Carson's birthday party.

Take a look at my back! And my hair! I was dripping all over the treadmill today. I'd say this was because of the distance, but honestly I'm like that all the time. So if sweating is any sign of a good, hard workout then I'm really working my tail off!

Now time for a crazy birthday party with lots of rowdy kids followed by a nice glass of wine...

. . . saving lives one mile at a time.

In January 2008, I completed my first running event ever, a full marathon with Team in Training. It was my fantastic mom, Phyllis, who inspired me to run for the first time in my life. She lost her battle with leukemia in September of 2007, but she won the ultimate victory - an eternity in Heaven!

Now I am back for another event with Team in Training, once again to do my part to help fund research that will hopefully one day find a cure for leukemia. This time I'm training for a TRIATHLON along with my husband, Dan! If you read back over my blog, you will see that I was never a runner until I began training for a marathon. Well, this is no different. I've never been a swimmer - not even one pool length. So this will truly be a challenge for me!

I hope you will check back and read my blog often. I will continue to update this with our progress. Also, I hope you will visit our fundraising websites and join our team in the fight against leukemia and other blood cancers!

GO TEAM!!
