I get SO much delight from my running. In fact, if I really wanted to—if I put my mind to it—I could probably work myself up to feel guilty about it. But I'll skip that option!
Instead of that, I'm going to continue to do what I have always done—put my heart into it. And for the next three months, that will include a wonderful new component:
As I train for the March 2008 L.A. Marathon, I will also be doing so as a part of a wonderful organization, Team in Training.
I'll be logging miles with the Long Beach crew, all of us lending our hearts, legs, intentionality, and creative fundraising abilities to a remarkable goal: to carry Team in Training's fundraising total to date past the $1billion mark. Why? To continue realizing its mission of curing leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improving the quality of life of patients and their families.
I'm inviting you (well, perhaps it would be more accurate to say "challenging you") to join me. Either as a runner/fundraiser (there's a TNT group near you!) or as a sponsor. Or even both!
You can make a donation using the easy-to-use donation page TnT has set aside for me, and which launches today. And I'll be carrying the growing list of donors with me on every training run — you'll be joining me for between 25 and 40 miles a week!
At the start of every run, my prayer is that you all share in the blessings that are at the heart of my running: immense joy, inspiration, balancing, clearing, and connection with Spirit. Together, not only the funds we raise but also the love we share will be making a real difference in our world.
And I add my own heartfelt thanks to Team in Training for creating such a wonderful way to be of service while I do one of the things I love to do most!
Wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and joy-filled holiday season.
