Another ULTRA Fabulous Running Season

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!

I've decided to join Team in Training for my 5th season.  This time around not only am I going to be training for another ultra marathon, 32 miles, but also returning as East Bay Mentor and Honoree Captain.  I have a lot on my plate but ready for the challenges I am facing this season.

My first and ultimate challenge is to raise $1500 by July 1st.  These very important funds are to help find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and hodgkin's disease and to help improve the quality of life for anyone suffering from these blood cancers. 

I'm extending an invitation to anyone who has run at least a half marathon to join me raise funds and train for an ultra marathon.  Here's a little blurb about Team in Training's Ultra Marathon...

     " The six-month ultra marathon training program consists of three phases -- base, strength-building, and distance -- tailored to multiple athletic ability levels. The team will train on scenic trails all over the Bay Area.  Designed with the busy person in mind, the training calendar outlines five to six days of training per week. Most weekday workouts are 45 to 90 minutes or less, with longer workouts reserved for the weekends.To join the ultra marathon team, you should be injury-free, able to run on hills, and have a good pair of running shoes. Additional athletic prerequisites (this will be a challenging course) and gear requirements (including attire, trail running shoes and water gear) will be discussed upon registration."

If you have any questions or would like to try a trail run please contact me.  It's become a passion of mine and I would love to share this experience with you.  If you'd rather not please make a contribution to my website to show your support and put a smile on my face : )  Remember to check with your employer to see if you can double your donation by having them match your contribution.  This will guarantee a successful fundraising season.

If you'd like to continue reading about my ULTRA journey you can catch me on my fundraising website at http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/skyline11/margaritaeduran@yahoo.com

I will be updating my site tonight where I will be featuring yummy belgian milk and dark chocolate bars.  Please place an order soon as they will be going quickly!  $2 minimum per bar.
