mentoring.

i still don’t have a good graphic to use for the 2010 san diego marathon. i may in the end just use the team in training logo, but not quite sure yet. this season i am ‘mentoring’ for team in training. i am pretty excited about this. it means i will get a group of runners, many of them who have never run a marathon before, and i will help guide them through their training and fundraising as we go through the season and get toward the starting line.

mentors were a huge part of my success with the program last year, and it is pretty cool to have been selected to help out with the san diego team in training group in this way.

we are starting our training this coming saturday so things have been ramping up for sure. our big rah-rah kickoff meeting is tuesday, and the of course the big group training session saturday morning.

i spoke for a few minutes yesterday at an informational meeting. i talked about being successful raising money for the leukemia society as part of the program. it is definitely a challenging thing to wrap your mind around when you consider doing tnt. i know for me at least, i had no issues with the training, having climbed the ladder to 26.2 multiple times. the fundraising, not so much.

anyway, get ready for maps, and run reports and all the fun stuff that shows up on this blog when i start training for a marathon.

oh and speaking of fundraising, my fundraising page is up now, so how about stopping by and donating $10?
