“One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.”

~Kareem Abdul-Jabbar~


Before training with TNT, I had no goals, nothing I was truly training for.
I would go through kicks; spurts, fazes, of running- where I would be running, no joke, everyday for a few weeks then... I don't know, would lose my steam.

I would sign up for the occasional half marathon, 10k or 5k... just for kicks, but not having any true purpose.

I was running, excuse my French, half ass.

But then- I joined, first, TNT for the Nike women's marathon... and being a part of that team truly painted the big picture on how I viewed training- why I should want to wake up at 5am everyday for a nice long run.

Now, being part of the Ultra team, they are reminding me of why, even after a long day at work, why I want to go out and run my expected miles.
Heck! I almost didn't last night but the fact that I want to not only complete the 50 mile trail run- but have a good times pushed me off that warm couch and into the crisp night for a nice 8 mile run along Sunset blvd.






I didn't rejoin TNT at first because I was frightened about fundraising- I lack the creativity for fundraising ideas I guess.

But. It's the people that brought me running (literally) back to the team.
Because we are a collective group of strangers(to start off), that share a common purpose:
To make that "someday" when cancer is cured, happen sooner!

We are here, running these (what you may think as insane) amount of miles, together, because we have known someone, have been or just want to help others affected by blood cancer.

Heck! Why else would I wake up on weekends earlier than my weekdays- because I do what I love...


Till next time,
Peace, love and happiness
