Season 2: Double Digits

"There will be days you don't think you can run a marathon.  There will be a lifetime of knowing you have."
- Unknown

This morning, I watched the LA Marathon and felt very proud to see members of Team in Training among the thousands running this event.  There is something very special about knowing you've completed a marathon.  Sure, it's one more thing to cross off your list, but more importantly, it's realizing that you can do something that you previously thought was impossible.

Team Long Beach has finally reached the exciting point in training where we conquer double digits.  Last season, I was so excited to reach this milestone and this time around is no different.  We still have a long way to go - more miles to run, more challenges to face, more adventures to experience - but with proper training and a positive attitude, we'll get to the finish line and will have raised a lot of money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

In three months, I hope to be one of the lucky few who can say they've completed a marathon.
