Basics of Training

Since I started training on September 23 I have walked approximately 100 miles in preparation for the 26.2 marathon to take place in Phoenix, Arizona on January 13.

In preparation for this, I attended a Team In Training meeting to learn about the purpose of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. What the expectations are of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and each individual. With the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society 75% of what is raised is used

I met with coaches from the Team In Training program who set a training schedule, gave instruction on stretching and nutritional guidelines. Also, we have group walks a few times a month to meet with coaches and get the opportunity to get to know other team members. The team walks have been very encouraging, remembering our mission and purpose.
