| Introduction | I was the most uncoordinated, nonathletic and least physically motivated child. I also had asthma. This all meant that I did whatever I could to get out of gym class! Flash forward a lot of years and I found myself overweight and unhappy. I eventually found my way to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training and signed up to walk a 1/2 marathon. That was in 2004 and I have since completed 4 full marathons, 6 half marathons, 3 triathlons and I'm now the head walk coach for a local chapter of Team in Training. I'm still pretty uncoordinated and I still struggle with the term athlete but I'm no longer unmotivated, the asthma is usually a non-issue and I'm 30 pounds lighter (and still counting). I really do fit the cliche "if I can do it, anyone can do it!" Next up on the calendar: Disney 1/2 Marathon in January 2012...bring on the 1/2 marathon personal record! |
