I have been training for 4 weeks which consists of 2 days of swimming, 2 days of cycling, and 2 days of running. Running is my Achilles heel. I SERIOUSLY stink at it!
My first running practice I could only run 30 seconds at a time. I AM NOT JOKING...I could barely breath let a lone get a sentence out. My knees felt like they were going to detach from my legs and go home! To top it off my Team is full of real athletes that can run without much effort. I wanted to QUIT! I thought "what are you doing Sylvia, you can't do this!!" My thoughts quickly turned to my Dad and how hard he fought to stay with us. So I put on my BIG GIRL PANTS and continued onward.
I am HAPPY TO SHOUT FROM THE ROOF TOPS that I am now able to run for 4 minutes straight with 1 minute walked repeating for 2 miles!!!
Just like my 100 cycle ride my Dad helped me get through it!

I would be grateful for what ever you can donate towards the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
