From the Facebook Invite:
“On Sunday, 10/25 we’re throwing a kegger to cure cancer! We’ll be bobbing for apples, we’ll have a petting zoo, we MAY even have a bounce house, a pumpkin carving contest…we’ll have food, and additional beverages. We will also have beer baseball. If you have not heard of it before, just think that if beer pong and flip cup had a child who loved baseball, this would be the result. We just ask for $15 to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society…and then everything else is FREE! You’d def spend more than that at a Sunday Funday at South! So put 10/25 @ 2pm on your calendar…invite your friends…and see you there!!!”

Last TNT Event: San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon
Why did you join TNT?
I had decided I wanted to run a marathon, and my family had previously been involved in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, so it seemed like the perfect fit.
What was your best fundraiser?
Ninety percent of my fund raising was just done through email. If you write something funny, meaningful, and most of all, that would resonate with you if it were from someone else, and is something you enjoy reading rather than reading out of implied obligation, then you will connect with people and make them realize that every little donation makes a very big difference.
Most memorable TNT moment?
I think it goes without saying that crossing the finish line is a moment in most people’s lives that they will never forget. I do still laugh however at the thought of 50 TNT’ers running down through Venice in costume during our final taper run. It’s not an easy task to “out-strange” the Venice boardwalk, but that run was absolutely priceless.
What would you have done differently during the season if you could start over?
Although my work schedule was something I could not control, I do wish I could have stayed consistent with the Wednesday group workouts and the mid-week runs. I felt prepared for the marathon, but if I were able to include those more often for my next run, I feel like I would make a vast improvement in my time.
Do you have any other words of wisdom for our participants?
Trust your coaches, get involved with as many of the group activities as possible, step back every so often to acknowledge your progress, and most of all, don’t forget to have some fun.

It was a cold and foggy morning in our Sunday Practice field trip to Palos Verdes. Unfortunately, the fog blocked the beautiful view of the coast, but fortunately, it was perfect running weather. The sun didn’t come out until the end, but we hoped you enjoyed a change in scenery!
