On September 16, 2007 I will be doing the Nautica Malibu Triathlon in memory of my dad, Grant Burns, as part of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. In honor of my dad and his love of cycling, I will be riding his bike for the 18 mile cycling portion. My personal goal is to raise $3,000 to support the society's mission to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. http://www.active.com/donate/tntgla/TriBeckieTri

Which event should I choose...


My foot seems to be healing slowly but surely. I have been trying to get in the pool as much as possible to loosen up my ankle and get some exercise in. Now as my recovery is under way and I know I cannot catch up in time to be ready for the Maui Half Marathon, I need to think about what event I should do instead. Team In Training has the Arizona Rock 'N' Roll Marathon and Half Marathon scheduled for its next season. It sounds fun, with a band playing at every mile of the course. This all takes place January 15, 2006 in Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I think this will be my event. I go to the podiatrist next Tuesday and will get my orthotics (specially made inserts for my shoes) to help protect those bones in the future. I still may not be able to train on hard ground until 2 more weeks after that. We'll see what he says. Let's hope for the best!
