Detroit 1/2 Marathon 10.16.2011

Early morning. Cold. Lined up & waiting to start!

Coming out of the tunnel from Canada!

Done!

Teammates!

Welcome!

I'm Stefanie, a Stay At Home Mom to 2 crazy little boys (M is 1 & R is 4) & wife to a wonderful husband. I became involved with Team In Training (TNT) in May 2011 & ran 1/2 marathon in Detroit in October 2011. I'd never ran before then, so this was a big accomplishment. Huge, even! Team In Training is an amazing organization that raises money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. So, not only are they teaching me to run, but I'm raising money for a wonderful cause.
I just signed up for the Summer 2012 season & am aiming for the San Diego Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon in June. The fundraising goal is much more than the Detroit 1/2 (have to raise $2,900 this time!) so I really have to step it up. I have several ideas, with my Etsy shop front & center. All profits from my Running 4 Linda shop (www.running4linda.etsy.com) go towards my fundraising, so please check it out! :)
