Wednesday was my first team meeting with the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge. About 100 people showed up to this event out of 600 people who are on the team. The rest of the team members were on Webex listening in over their phones or computers since some of these runners live in China or Italy. This meeting discussed when team runs would be, when events would be taking place, and what to expect come Marathon Monday. I met a lot of new people and I know there is a lot more to come.

In two weeks, it is my first-timers run with DFMC. We are meeting in Brookline and all of the new runners on the team are invited. We will run 4 – 5 miles and then go out for brunch. I cannot wait for this event. It will be another great opportunity to meet people.

This Sunday, is my third half marathon for this year, the Chilly Half marathon. I cannot wait to run through the city of Newton and part of the marathon route on Commonwealth Avenue. I will let you know my results from the race. Wish me luck!
