Saturday was my first run with the TNT group. It was SO amazing! Five miles couldn't have seemed easier (well, that probably wasn't my thought at the time...). I didn't feel too bad walking part of the last .5 mile or so because I'd never run that far at one time in my life anyway, especially outside in the summer! My mentor ran the second part of our run with me, which I thought was so cool. It was really awesome to be able to run with a group of people who were all running for the same reason. It wasn't about us--it was about the people and the cause we were running for. On Saturday we ran specifically for Kaitlyn and Chad, two of our honored heroes who are fighting blood cancers.
When I got home after the run, I was totally exhausted. I was just so tired! I felt great though. I left that run already looking forward to the next group run. It was also really fun to get to know the people on the Fort Worth TNT marathon team as we were running.
So, in summary: TNT group run = amazing & totally awesome.
Next weekend I'll try to update my blog during that time period after the run when I am sprawled out on my living room floor trying to stop sweating... I should have some better details then because all I remember right now is how cool the run was.
I sent out my first round of fundraising letters on Friday evening, and I'm going to set up my email campaign this afternoon, so I am looking forward to getting some responses and donations!
Go TEAM!

Congrats on doing this. I'll make a donation as soon as I get paid (think end of the month). You gotsta get paid!
I may see you out on Saturday mornings soon. I just finished mentoring for the summer group and I'm going to mentor for the winter group when we start training in August.
Run hard...
