It's Official

I recieved the word thsi morning from the Leukemia and Lympoma Society that I have been accepted into the Team in Training program and have my spot for running the Boston Marathon in 2012.   It just so happened that I was at PR Running getting a fitting done for some new running shoes when the call came.  The staff at PR Running is fantastic and they really helped me to understand what they were looking for and how the right shoes will help.  I didn't really need to be sold on the concept of getting custom fit, as I know how very important it is with my golf game so it has to be similar here.  I ended up with a great new pair of Brooks Glycerine 9's that I'm psyched to break in tomorrow morning. 

Now comes the hard part, which will be raising the funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I'm working on getting the fundraising page set up and should be launching that along with this blog to the public in the next day or so.   I'm very excited to be raising money for such a great cause and am looking forward to having a lot of fun over the next five or six months.
