I am in the process of deciding if I want to try and do back to back events with the Team in Training. I had such a wonderful experience, and I want to continue to raise money for LLS, my wife wants me to stay in shape, and I am already scheduled to run the Virginia Beach Half Marathon, so the decision is almost made.

If I get enough positive feedback about doing it, and I can get a couple people to join the Team with me, I just may do it!

The Virginia Beach Rock And Roll Half Marathon has been voted as one of the best and most fun events in America.

So, if you know anyone that wants to be trained for a Half marathon (13.1 miles) by professional, dedicated run, walk or jog trainers, the Team in Training is perfect.

If you always wanted to challenge yourself, and see if you have what it takes, let me know. I was in the Army for 5 years and had never run more than 5 miles at a time. If you know me, you'd never believe I could complete 13.1 miles, but I did it with a huge smile on my face.

I challenge YOU to join ME and lets Join the Team in Training together! Together, we can do our part to wipe out Blood Diseases, so no other kids (or adults) have to go through what Blake and his entire family went through! I'll be more than happy to tell you anything that I know, and steer you in the right direction!

Just to let you know, I will provide any help you need to complete your required fundraising. I'll provide you with a BLOG to keep your updates posted. I'll help you in any way I can, from helping design your fundraising website to help setting up fund raising events in your area. I will be more than happy to work WITH you to make your goal!

The opportunity to Join the Team in Training is Nationwide. There are even chapters in Canada! If there is a Team in Training chapter in your area that is training for Virginia Beach, you can join with them. If there is no chapter, you can join the Virtual Team.

If for nothing else, you have to do it for the Pasta Dinner the night before the race and the Celebration Party after the race.

The best part, you get to travel to Virginia Beach Virginia! No matter what, entrance fees, transportation, hotel stay, just about everything is covered (except most meals and local activities). All you have to do is meet your minimum fundraising target, and you are here! Trust me, it will be the experience of a lifetime!

If I do run with the team in training, I'm not going to be asking for donations from family and friends! I'm going to do it all through business fund raisers and local events! I CAN SHOW YOU HOW!

Let me know if you want to join "Team Blake: Taking step for a cure" with the team in training and I'll help get you started today!
