TNT Kick Off Party!

Tonight was our Team In Training (TNT) kick off party! No “official” running yet. I was introduced to my mentor, Nick, who will be supporting me throughout the season. He has ran several races before with Team In Training and will be running the race in San Diego with me in June. I also learned more about what I could expect from the training, ate lots of food, and met other TNT participants as well. The party was motivating and inspiring, but the it definitely left me with the feeling that this is only the beginning and the best of what's to come is incomprehensible. This Saturday is our first team practice and first “official” training day.

Right now, I can’t help but feel fatigued. Last night, Abby and I went to JR’s Bar for Shirley Temples to organize our fundraising efforts, we stayed until 10pm. Nonetheless, as I was at JR’s Bar again this morning by 6:00am to drink coffee with owners and discuss a fundraising event we are hosting on March 5th. The owners of the bar are awesome. They seem more than willing to help us in any way they can. We are just in the planning stages, but I think it will be a fun event for everyone!

Also, I finally found a business to sponsor $100! Puget Sound Auto Body owed me a favor after I kindly brought them a couple $1000 worth of business. Lets just say that WA traffic was quick to remind me that I dont live in Montana anymore...needless to say, my car survived and Puget Sound Auto Body returned it to "like new" condition. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!! I really REALLY appreciate it!
