These are writings about my training/running of the 2011 and 2012 Boston Marathons. I am hoping it will inspire others to enjoy this life and remind me of my experiences while training. In the summer of 2009 I was diagnosed with a rare and deadly cancer called chondrosarcoma. I have always wanted to run the Boston Marathon and combining this goal with bringing support to Dana Farber is the perfect combination. I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences.....

First Run With Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge Team
It was another beautiful day and the course we ran was very enjoyable. The run began in Lexington center and then went about a mile and a half towards the Minuteman National Park. The historic surroundings only added to the experience. I met many more great people. There is something about this group that makes you know you are involved with something special. The temperature was the coldest I have run in this year. After the run I shopped at the Greater Boston Running Company. The people there were very knowledgeable and spent time answering alot of questions I asked. I ended up purchasing a jacket, gloves, socks, neck protector, and a shirt. DFMC team members received a twenty percent discount for the day. I hope to make all the runs with the team in January, February and March. Here are some photos:
