Thursday, May 20th : Team in Training information meeting

I was really nervous to attend this meeting because I knew once I'd met the people I'd be training with and heard the stories of "honorees" also known as survivors of blood cancers, I'd never look back.

And I didn't.

Registration submitted, race shirt on, tears in eyes.

I learned the secret "handshake"- GO TEAM! It's not a hand shake at all but rather an enthusiastic shout in unison.

Friday, May 21st: Bike ride

I began my own personal training with some alumni Team in Training teammates as we biked 30 miles with San Jose Bike Party.

Saturday, May 22nd: Fun Run and Clinic

First run and equipment clinic with the team. In 45 minutes my brain was filled with the scientific terminology on the importance of proper running shoes. After a short 2 mile run along the beautiful Los Gatos Creek Trail in Campbell, we shared a bagel breakfast and listened to the testimonies of several honorees. Heart wrenching and heart warming all at once.

Sunday, May 23rd: 5 mile run through downtown San Jose in the beautiful sunshine with a beautiful friend!
