Have you seen this clip of Paula Radcliffe during the London Marathon 2005 stopping during her race to “use the restroom?”
Guess what? She still won.
It’s very interesting to see what other chapters are doing, so I came across this Viddler video of the San Diego County TNT, who is training for the Half & Full Marathons taking place at Walt Disney World, Phoenix, and Carlsbad in January 2009.
LLS posted a new video on their YouTube channel, with overview of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). It’s a first of a series titled, LLSpotlight. John Walter, President & CEO and others talk about “Why LLS?”
Call it marathon withdrawals, but I still have the itch to do another race! What did I do? I signed up for the San Jose Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon! Elite Racing had a $15 off coupon, so I just had to jump on it. I mean, after a 26.2 run, what’s 13.1? I think of it as another training day. It’s just another Sunday, or is it? By the time of the race, I won’t have a TNT training plan, but I do have the knowledge of setting something up very similar to it. I just have to be determined and focused. I know that if I do drop off in training, or some kind of cardiovascular training, my risk to injury is increased. I plan to do other small races until the event, so hopefully the San Jose Half won’t be a problem.
2008 is Team In Training’s 20th Anniversary. Learn more about Team In Training in this very inspirational video about how it all started.
I give credit to my friends Anna Catolos and JoAnne Samson, for introducing me to Team In Training. They were the first ones who inspired me to run a marathon, as they trained for the San Diego Rock N’ Roll Marathon back in the summer of 2006.
