We're two months into the Team in Training (TNT) training and fundraising season and I haven't started training or fundraising yet. So I'm a little worried on both counts. But not too worried. I've done four marathons, and I've done this fundraising once before, so I think I know what to expect. I think I can get everything done in the remaining two-and-a-half months. I'm sending out fundraising emails soon and I'm doing a track workout at Kezar stadium with the TNT folks tomorrow night. My biggest concern is trying to fit all of this in around work, which has been tough lately and will only get tougher for the rest of the year. I figure this is the kind of thing that will help me out at work, though. Keeping fit will help my mental outlook, and remembering why I'm doing this -- for Dave, Susan, and Zoe and so many others like them -- will help me keep things in perspective.
