It takes a TEAM.

The marathon is nearly here. I can see myself at the finish line already. All the people who have fought with me will be represented. It's time to WIN. I have put in the hours, failed my first marathon, still haven't broke 22 mins on a 5k. But I have put in the work and the stage is set. This marathon is mine.

Nobody can tell me that I don't have passion. I have wanted this my whole life. I want to be great. I want to win. I want to hit a new goal.

Training-

This has been going pretty well. The weeks are flying off and with just under 10 days to go. I feel very confident on my feet and feel as though I can go the distance. My lifetime miles just broke 1000. The Philly Marathon will mark my first full year of running as a sport. When I look back I see the incredible journey, the people I have met, the sweat equity, the food. Wait catch that last one.......the FOOD.

So where do we go from here?:
I go to the finish line and I don't stop until I win. But guys catch this.......forreal catch this!!!

"I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion." 

All that passion at the beginning isn't VANITY. Guys I have passion as a result of every last person who has taken the time to stop and invest into me.

Here I come Team DEteriminate. We are gonna rock the house for cancer research.
