Join us at a Team in Training team walk/run; and 26.9% of goal!

Ran outside today, which is always tough on the ego - those treadmill runs are so much easier. Either way, though, got in 4.8 miles in about 58 minutes, using my new run 6: walk 2 intervals. Good stuff. On Monday, I did about an hour of weight training. I am pretty stiff and sore, believe me! Tomorrow is our first track workout, and I'm hoping I will be able to move (big goals here!) Stretching and ibuprofin are my new best friends. I would like to also introduce you to two other new but valuable acquaintences: Mr. and Mrs. Sports Socks (fantastic) and Ms. Timex Triathalon Sleek Watch, who times my intervals flawlessly while not emptying my meager bank account. Much appreciated.

Some exciting news: we're at 26.9% of my goal to raise $1700 by July 2! I couldn't have done it (and can't do it) without you. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. We're not there yet, of course, but I know we can do it!

Come see what Team in Training is all about - join me at a training session! Did you know you can try out a Team In Training team run (or walk)? I have a few guest passes that I am willing to share - get in touch with me if you are interested. Dates of upcoming guest walks/runs include:

* Saturday, May 30, 8am, St. Paul;
* Wednesday, June 3, 6:30pm, Minneapolis; and
* Saturday, June 6, 8am, St. Paul.

Let me know if you're interested - there are only a few and when they're gone, I can't guarantee I can get more. All paces are welcomed - 80% of TNT participants are training for their first endurance event, and many are doing some combination of walking and running (some walking with a little running, some running with a little walking (me!) and some just running.) The coaches are great, as are the other folks on the team - come on out if you can!
