A long overdue thank you.

Hello Family & Friends,

First I would like to apologize for the tardiness of this update.  I seem to be in a constant struggle with finding time for all that I need/want to accomplish. 

Here is a little newsletter to update you on our Team in Training status.  We completed our event on May 7^th in 3:24 minutes which averages about 15:30/mile pace.  We had a blast and combined, Team Seats raised over $3400 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  We could not have done this without your generous contributions & support.   

Our season started back in January with a Kickoff party downtown at the Rathskellar.  It was great to get to meet the coaches, mentors & fellow teammates.  I was amazed by how many were “alumni” ( they’ve participates in one or more seasons) and many had participated in more than one type of event (i.e. ran a marathon, did a triathalon and/ or a century ride). 

Our first group training or GT was moved due to snow from Eagle Creek to a near by office park complex.  Renee drove the hour and a half from our house to the west side of Indianapolis while it was snowing very heavily.  Of course she didn’t realize this until she was on the interstate and a half hour into her drive.  She arrived safely there and home again.  She was exhilarated by once again being amist her element (runners/walkers).  Tim was a very dedicated supporter of this and stayed home most Saturdays with the children so Renee could go train.  You would be amazed at how hard it is to find someone to come to your house to watch your kids at 6 o’clock in the morning. 

In mid- April, Tim’s mom came over, spent the night  & stayed with the kids so both of us could go to the practice race that Team in Training organized.  Neither of us were certain if we were ready for such a distance.  It was an 11 mile event.  However, we completed it and felt confident that completing the mini-marathon in 4 weeks would be possible.  It really helped us to feel confident in the training we Renee had been doing. 

Being a member of team in Training has been like no other experience I’ve had.  They take a bunch of total strangers, send them out in the cold, snow, ice & rain to run and/or walk and in the end those strangers are lifelong friends.  

We want to send a huge thank you to our honored heroes Carolyn Miller and Andrea Miller. Their stories of perseverance are what kept us motivated when the going got tough.

 We also want to be sure to thank our business supporters who through their generous contributions we were able to raise the funds that we did.
