The Kick Off for the winter season of Team In Training was today. All these endurance sports teams from all over the Greater Los Angeles area met in Pasadena for a big pep rally, basically.
Two things are great about Team In Training:
1) This is for an unbelievably great cause. TNT raises funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society which has helped fund research grants that are directly responsible for a lot of cancer patients still being alive today. They do this by offering endurance sports training for the volunteers who are individually raising money. And their training is amazing, which leads me to...
2) The training is amazing. It doesn't matter what level of runner/cycler/hiker/swimmer you are, their coaches have solid experience and know-how to help you step up your game while being healthy and helping you prevent injuries. I may be able to train myself for a half marathon, but when it comes to a full I doubt that I have yet to attain the level of motivation and discipline I would need to do it without my coaches and my team.
So we will be training with TNT for the inaugural Los Angeles half marathon in October. Yes, it's another Rock 'n' Roll event! And that also means that we'll be raising money for the LLS!

The winter season will carry on through to January as some members of our team will be training for the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Phoenix Marathon! The very same marathon that I plan on making my #1 event of 2011!
Fortunately, we're able to continue training with the team through the end of the season and will be able to have our coaches helping us toward our full marathon goal.
UNfortunately, we slept in and missed kick off.
