Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I'm running with Team in Training to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! This season, I am a volunteer mentor for a group of my fellow runners, and I'll be participating in the ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon in June. Last year I trained with TNT to run my first race ever, the Philadelphia Half Marathon. This is a great challenge supporting a fantastic cause. Follow along with my training in this blog, and please consider donating using this link: http://bit.ly/lindzTNT.

Pep Talk

This week has been really busy due to the Labor Day holiday, the UMD-Navy game (GO TERPS!!!), and Rosh Hashanah, but I've managed to fit in a run every day!

Today was my first 4-mile run since Saturday, though, and it went pretty well. I'm eager to get over the "first couple miles = ouch" hump, so that these daily workouts aren't as frustrating in the beginning. I've been assured by a few people that it's just a matter of time, so I will keep running!!

My mental pep talk today went something along the lines of:
"It's really early in the morning; why am I awake and running? I don't like this very much..."
"But I also don't like cancer."
"What if all I had to do was run, and less people would have cancer in the future?"
"I would run every day."

So I am.

(Go team!)
