Team in Training

Hi everyone! I had my frist training walk today for the Leaukemia Societies Team in Training. If you missed my original post onthis I am walking a marathon on Jan 8th in disney and have committed to fundraising for the Leukemia/lymphoma Society. I got my web page up and running today and am soooo happy about that. Im going to put the website after my name so you guys can check it out. If anyone feels moved to donate to the cause you can do it right there...or if you are a survivor or know a survivor who would want me to walk in their honor I would be proud to. Originally I had signed up for running the 1/2 marathon but have changed to walking the full marathon...wow...can you guys believe Im going to walk for at least 6.5 hours straight in about 5 months!!! I am so so psyched. Anyhow, if you get a chance check out my website and tell me what you think!! Hugs, Michelle www.active.com/donate/tntwpawv/michelleuschock

Michelle, I think your goal is really admirable. I hope you can earn lots of money for the benefit and earn lots of self-esteem for achieving your physical goal! Hugggs, Heidi

Thanks Heidi, I have to say the fundraising part makes me very nervous...but I wont know if I will succeed unless I try!! Hugs, Michelle www.active.com/donate/tntwpawv/michelleuschock

I'm starting training too for walking a 1/2 marathon coming up in January '06 (PF Chang's Rock N' Roll Marathon). I have pneumonia right now so am trying to get that cleared up (on meds) and will get back to training. I've always wanted to participate in a walk-a-thon, marathons, etc. I'm doing the Walk from Obesity on 9/24 and then I'm planning on doing the walk with Race for the Cure Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in October. then I think there is a diabetes walk in November. Then I plan on entering and being a part of the PF Chang's marathon, but am only doing the 1/2 marathon this time. Maybe next year I can do the full marathon. I'm excited!!! Im' glad you are doing this too and you are going the full marathon!! WOW! You go girl!!! Trisha
