Team In Training

I have signed up to attend an informational meeting about Team In Training next weekend.

From the email I received this evening:
Experienced coaches design a day-by-day training program which prepares participants for their race day events. Participants are training for optimal performance and receive sound advice on form, technique, race strategies, equipment, injury prevention and nutrition. At the same time, participants benefit from improved strength, cardiovascular
endurance and weight management. Group training consists of weekend morning workouts at various locations around the Central Florida area. There are also informal weekday group training sessions led by TNT mentors. Coaches send weekly emails that include training tips and updates.


And also this:
In return for all of these aspects of the program, participants are asked to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Once you achieve the participation minimum associated with your event, the TNT staff will arrange and pay for your airfare, hotel stay (double occupancy), race registration and TNT weekend events. The TNT staff is dedicated to helping you achieve your goal! Shortly after the Kick Off Celebration, the TNT staff will host a Fundraising Clinic to provide you with all the information you will need to reach your fundraising goal, including personal solicitation and letter writing campaigns, on-line fundraising, corporate sponsorship campaigns and organizing special events.


I'll go to the meeting and find out more then.

I've been sick

but I'm almost better now. I'd say Monday starts me back to "running."
