Training week of Aug 15


I did 10 miles today.   The schedule called for 8 miles and frankly we messed up our plan.  Oh well.  It didn't hurt me.   Joe went with me luckily with his whistle and clipboard ( my coach!). Just kidding about the coach stuff.
This week I've logged in a little over  20 miles so am on schedule.    The light rain today was great in that it kept us cool.   On the way home a nice young woman noticed my Team in Training shirt and called out to me that she too had done an event for TNT.   

Factoid:    every four minutes someone will be diagnosed with a blood cancer.   Every ten minutes some one will die.    This year about 53,000 people will die of blood cancers.

Something to be thankful for:   we bought beautiful peppers, tomatoes, and fennel at the farmers' market on the way home for dinner.    Thank goodness we live in America and have this great bounty.

  2. As coach and hubby, I can't remember signing up for training in the rain. Ha Ha. We had a great time and my wife is a trooper. I know I sound like a broken record, but I must say Milly and the TNT Organization are surely involved in a VERY WORTHY cause. I'm so proud of you and God bless you.
