Poll question: Would you support me if I ran a marathon to raise funds for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?
Because I lost a brother to leukemia, I have always wanted to run a marathon with Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's http://www.teamintraining.org/">Team in Training to raise money.

I've gone running with TnT in Chicago and Santa Barbara, but lacked the time, psychological strength and nerve to ask for money to go all the way. But this year I'm in pretty good shape. I think I can actually train to run the L.A. Marathon in March.

So are you with me?

Sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Sounds like a wonderful cause. Just send me the details when you get them.

5. Better you than me...
I figure that, if I trained hard enough, I might be able to complete a race of 26.385 feet. ;-)
