Training Time!

We're in!  I got an email on Saturday saying a spot was our for the Tri for the Cure.  So we're all signed up.  Woot!!!

So now the training begins.  My goal is to be fast, fast, FAST!  I figure since I have the easiest leg of the race, I have to be the fastest.  I've gotta make my hard working partners-in-crime proud!!  Christee is so excited, and we've named ourselves Team Christee in her honor.  I'm looking forward to getting to know her better over the next few months.  We're friends on Facebook now, and looking at her pictures, she has not let cancer slow her down.  She has 14 more rounds of radiation, but just got the ok to go skiing.  Can you imagine? She has 2 little girls.  And she is not only smiling in every picture, she is absolutely radiant in every picture.  Now I'm not naive.  I know there are no pictures of her sick from the radiation.  But that's not the point.  I know all my beautiful friends reading this, and you know what I'm getting at.  So, I've got to run 3 miles.  When I was running 5K's in Boston, I was running just over 10 minute miles.  I'm so far from that right now, but if I could get back to that I'd be happy.  That's my goal.  Of course, my leg is going to be right at noon...of course.  But I'm not complaining.  Christee is in the middle of radiation and is going to swim in July.  I will run 3 miles in just over 30 minutes.  Period.  And I will love every minute of it.  And if I get a migraine, I will have a lovely shot of imitrex waiting for me at the finish line....
