Thank you, Team In Training

It's a cold and rainy day in New York, I'm still working, but it's okay, because I know I'll have my Team In Training family to run with tomorrow AM, and for a million Wednesdays and Saturdays to come.  We run together, we cry together, we brunch together, and we do it for an awesome cause... killing cancer every step of the way.

[Picture is from a 5-miler I recently did at Central Park.  I was in the 6000s wave, and honestly unexpectedly managed to PR and pass a ton of people in the 5000s.  This is my happy running face. :) ]

A year ago, I was hurt, I couldn't run, and my ankle looked like an elephant's foot (soccer game sprain, some of you will remember me screaming bloody murder!).  This year, I'm running faster than ever, I have a confidence that makes me question how I ever thought it wasn't possible to feel like this again, and when I take a second to sit down, breathe, and think about everything I've accomplished physically and mentally, I know that most of my happiness and better outlook on life is from Team In Training.  (I can't go saying my pre-TNT friends haven't made my life better!)  It's been a whirlwind year with a ton of emotion and wildness, but Team In Training is really what keeps me grounded, balanced, and smiling while I run.

I donate to Team In Training on a regular basis now.  It's being a part of my life and a part of who I am and who my friends are.

Support the amazing cause, kill cancer with me, and feel better all the while.  :) And... come join me for a run, or a swim or a bike ride!
