This year is my 4th year doing the Nike Women's half marathon as a participant with Team in Training. I've pledged this year to raise $3,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of those battling blood cancers. Stay tuned for updates on my training, tips for other runners, and my progress towards my goal.

I missed last year's Nike Women's Marathon because I had just gotten back from <a href="http://blogs.bootsnall.com/malia">traveling for 9 months</a> and I wasn't quite ready to get back into the swing of training again. The week before the race I came sooooo close to signing up anyway! haha. So this year, I'm back! Thanks for coming along for the ride!<br /><br />I'll be using this blog to share training updates and info about ways that you can help me to spread the word and reach my goal for this year of raising $3,000 for the <a href="http://www.lls.org">Leukemia & Lymphoma Society</a>.
