Training has begun and I have 2 weeks under my belt. Having attended the first team ride, my biggest concern was falling out of my clipless pedals. I managed to do okay with that, but I know that I'm bound to fall one of these days! We had the first coached swim/run (walk in my case) and last Tuesday was a spin class, followed by a run/walk. I've come to realize that these weekday workouts require a lot more planning than I am used to. Between packing for spin class (bike, trainer, phone book for my front tire, sports bra, bike shorts, socks, cycling shoes, hat, headlamp, run shoes, water bottle, some type of food & a towel) and organizing myself for a normal workday, I always manage to forget something. Because of my job, I already have a tendency to live out of my car, but I have a feeling it is only going to get worse!
The past weekend was both eventful and exhausting. Although I wasn't able to train, I got to watch other people run. The team I manage completed the Nike Women's Half Marathon in San Francisco on Sunday. This is truly a landmark event for LLS and I feel very proud to be a part of it. Of the 20,000 runners involved in the event, over 5,000 were fundraising for Team In Training. Over $18.5 million was raised to support research and patient services. The top fundraiser for the event had raised over $56,000--AMAZING!
