While this is my initial post, I've actually been training for a couple of weeks now. So I'm going to make a few posts over the next few minutes to catch you up.
I actually took the decision 5wks ago to get in shape and fundraise for cancer research. But in fact the Team In Training season hadn't started yet. So I trained on my own.
One of the metrics I'm going to report in this blog is weight loss. I'm too ashamed to admit what my weight was to begin with, so I'm not going to use absolute numbers. My goal is to drop my weight by 15% before Kaua'i. 5wks in, I'm 23% of the way there!

Cancer has touched most of our lives. In my case, cancer took my Dad while my Mom is a cancer survivor. In memory of my Dad who I miss dearly, I'm training to run both a 1/2 and a Full marathon this autumn.
Last autumn I ran my first marathon in San Francisco in a time of 4:12:57. Then this spring I completed my second marathon in Napa in a time of 3:55:45. This coming autumn I'll run the marathon in San Francisco again, targeting a time of 3:45:00. I've run quite a few 1/2 marathons now, the latest being Santa Cruz in April which I completed in 1:43:47. This autumn I target going sub 1:40:00 in the San Jose Rock & Roll 1/2.
By this autumn I'm targeting to:
- raise $2,500 for cancer research,
- set a new personal best 1/2 time of sub 1hr40min, and
- set a new personal best Full time of sub 3hrs45min.
Please consider making a donation to support cancer research through my fundraising web page.
I'm running to get fit, and I'm running to raise money for cancer research. I invite you to follow my progress as I raise at least $2,500 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and train to set personal record (PR) times in both a half and a full marathon this fall (2010).

- I love living in the SF Bay Area with my beautiful family. We're very blessed. So one of the things I'm doing is raising money for cancer research with Team In Training. At the same time, I keep in shape, and hang-out with incredible people.
