I joined Team In Training (TNT) in 2012, when I decided I wanted to train and run my first half marathon. Some of my friends had told me about their success with the program, and while I didn't have a personal connection to The Leukemia & Lymphoma  (LLS), it was obviously a worthy cause and I felt I could handle the fundraising aspect.

I loved the experience; the training cycle, the coaches, the teammates, and even the fundraising. And they got me across that first finish line.

I've been a proud TNT participant for nearly every season since then, completing that half marathon, a full marathon, an Olympic triathlon, a Century ride, three 70.3 triathlons, and a full IRONMAN. And according to my LLS dashboard, I've raised something over $12,000 for the mission.

TNT got me started on the path to becoming the athlete I am today, as I approach my one-hundredth half marathon and train for my second IRONMAN. I couldn't be more grateful.
