Yesterday was my Workout for a Cause fundraiser at GymIt. I participated in the first class which was TRX for about an hour. Lynn my personal trainer was the coach at the two TRX classes yesterday and then a new personal trainer Katie coached the bootcamp. During the last two classes, I put in mileage on the arc trainer for 10.4 miles.

Today I had my first personal training appointment since August. My personal trainer has been out because of knee surgery and has been sick. I have been working with her since 2010. We are a good team. We worked on my core since I need my upper body to become stronger and leaner for the marathon. We worked on different types of planks, sit ups, and torso turns. We decided to meet up at the beginning of every month to make sure that my form is correct and I stay injury free.

Before and after my personal training appointment I jumped on the arc trainer to get in some my miles. Tomorrow I will be back to the gym for my Workout for a Cause fundraiser and to get in more miles on the arc trainer – 10.4 miles.

During Marathon weekend, the below honor cards will be on display on the walls in the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge compund at the Marriot in Boston. I chose family and friends to honor who have been affected by cancer. These people have been on my mind during my training runs to help me persevere during the tough times. 

Please read this publication about my story and my fundraising project and event.

Today is received my 2015 Boston Marathon in the mail. It has the same design as last year’s singlet but I love the bright colors. Just like my husband Adam says I will be a running traffic cone! The bright orange says it all!
