I posted a blog about 3 or 4 months ago about my first marathon attempt. Well, it went well and i finished. Actually it was excruciatingly painful but I finished and I have now set my sights on another race that takes place on October 19th in San Francisco.

I have trained for both marathons with a terrific organization called Team In Training. Team in Training is a branch of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and is responsible for raising over 100 million dollars each year for research and patient care. As a part of my participation I am committed to raising $1175 for by race day and I am still behind. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and of course it is going to a great cause.

In addition I would especially like to thank those of you who donated to my last marathon (Rock N Roll Marathon - San Diego CA), in particular those of you who donated having never met me. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and your donation has helped save lives.
