The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - Rock 'N' Roll Marathon

I am in the 3rd week of Team in Training for the Rock 'N' Roll 26.2 mile Marathon to be held June 1st in San Diego. I train 4 days a week usually on my own and then on Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. I join the Seattle team to train together.

Why am I doing this you ask? It is because my college roommate's husband passed away in November last year of leukemia. Please go to my website as I describe it just a bit further.

Yesterday, we were at the Red Hook Brewery in Woodinville, WA. It was cool and foggy as we started out on the trail for an hour. I am walking as I don't think I can do a run. It turned out to be a beautiful day. What a great way to start the weekend!

Today I notice an issue with my left ankle. I'll ask my chiropractor tomorrow when I visit her. After comleting the Cancer 3-Day Walk two years ago I don't feel I should have any problem training and completing this walk in June. But I am always alert to anything I feel is going on with my feet. I dread the thought of having bad blisters or putting my knee out.

I am mailing out letters this week and sending an email out as I do need to raise $4,000. If you are able to help...thanks. I need to raise at least $1,000 by March 14th to stay in the game.
