Death Wish

Hello, all!

Today officially begins my training for the Nike Women's Marathon.
We had our Team-In-Training kick-off yesterday, and our first group run is on Saturday. Today's schedule: Run 2-4 miles. Pretty sure I'm going to be closer to the 2 end of that spectrum.

Also, here's my plug - donate to me! I'm raising $2,600 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Part of me is worried that the fundraising is going to be more difficult than the actual running. To donate, go here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/nikesf09/lkotara.
Words of encouragement are appreciated as much as donations (maybe more)!

Also, found this awesome article about marathon training and weight loss.

Emily - Question: 2 days a week we're supposed to do "light" workouts - i.e. a short run and/or cross training. Any workout ideas for cross training? The idea is to give the running muscles a break, but the gym doesn't have a whole lot of weight equipment other than a few for the arms.
