I have just a little more than a month left of training before my “big hike” but I’m still less than halfway to my fundraising goal. If you’ve been meaning to donate, there’s no better time than the present. Donate now! Need more reasons to give besides the tax write-off? How about these: Every ten …
It’s been a very busy couple weeks since I’ve posted about my weekend team hikes. Hard to find time for everything with the hike training, team events, fundraising, work and what little semblance of life I have outside of that (which isn’t much… just getting to laundry has been tough the last two weeks). The …
I know I haven’t been updating as frequently as I should be – this week was rough timewise, starting with a two hike weekend (team hike on Saturday and then an alumni hike on Sunday for those who did a hike a previous season). I’ll get photos up from last weekend’s hikes shortly. But in …
… not being announced yet. I drew the winner of my baked-goods-for-donating challenge, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise that will be showing up in their mailbox in the next week or so. So I’m not going to spoil the fun by mentioning the name just yet, but I will tell you there …
Team in Training has a lot of commitments. Commitment to the cause, first and foremost. Commitment to training. Commitment to my team members. Commitment to fundraising. All of those are commitments I made the day I decided to do another hike for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Tomorrow is when it gets official with my …
The Trails GPS has been failing me this week – I think I screwed up the settings and now it isn’t checking waypoints frequently enough, otherwise, I’d share my map as well. Fussing with settings and hoping for a better outcome tomorrow. As for my new “themed” walks, I decided today’s would be brought to …
I have to admit, I’m amazed by the generosity of all my friends, family and coworkers. LLS is a good cause that I care deeply about, but I’m all too aware of the tough economic climate right now. To already be 30% of my goal is phenomenal. A HUGE thank you to those of you …
Since I’m going to miss this coming Saturday’s hike, I’m trying hard to get in as much as I can this week. Today I walked both to and from work (taking a long way home, to get a full 3.3 miles that direction, for a total of 5.5 miles today). Then I did the P90X …
This Saturday’s hike was a 3.5 hour buddy group hike on Mt. Tamalpais. During the season, a few of our team hikes (with everyone in the SF Bay Area on the team) are replaced with buddy hikes (with our smaller geographic group). So we were hiking with the team members from San Francisco and the …
As many of you know, the state of California is in a horrible budget crisis. Potentially on the chopping block: more than 200 state parks in California, many of which are right here in the Bay Area and part of my training hikes. Learn more and find out how to take action. I can’t imagine …
