Each team training is assigned an honorary teammate. I got to meet our teammate, Jim Marshall. Jim was first diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in November of 2005. He completed chemotherapy and radiation in August 2006 and is currently in remission. I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and his wife, Linda. They have both trained with Team In Training. Jim completed the full marathon and Linda, completed the half marathon. Jim's quote to live by is "Don't Wimp Out".
The Team In Training does an incredible job of setting up a training schedule and providing a support team for the athletes. I started training this week on my own and my first team run will be on Saturday. I had forgotten how much I love running!
