January 2006:

Our team training start was a hilly 9 mile run through Wellesley on the Marathon course- approx miles 15-19.5 and back. The hills continue to be challenging for me, but I hope they continue getting better with each run.

We had two great dedications on that day- one via letter from one of my sponsors who had donated in memory of his aunt. She passed away with lymphoma, but had been a strong support to him and his siblings. His e-mail to me was 'run with joy'. I will try to remember that. The next dedication was from our neighbor, Chris Lynne, whose mother passed away from lymphoma 2 years ago. Chris has been our big support in giving us advice about TNT and fundraising, and we look forward to attending her fundraiser this week.
