I've just joined the Silicon Valley Team in Training chapter to train for a half marathon this Spring.
All Team in Training members commit to raise funds as part of their training. So to all you nameless readers out there in Cyberland, I'd really appreciate any donations. To donate, just visit my Team in Training page, where you can do it all online:

I ran the New York Marathon back East in 1997, but a 10k would be a challenge for me at this point. I ran the Turkey Trot in San Jose last weekend and had a tough time getting up and down some of those hills.
Team In Training raises funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. I've lost many family members to cancer over the years, so this is a cause I'm very happy to support.
Also, if you’d like me to run in honor of any of your loved ones that have been affected by cancer, I will place their name on my race jersey for the race. Just let me know.
I very much appreciate the support. It's nice to both get in shape and support a good cause at the same time.
