Hello! I've got a lot to blog about over the next few days so keep stopping by and I'll do my best to have something interesting for you to read.
Over the weekend we were in San Francisco with our Nike Women's Marathon team as they completed 5 months of training and fundraising with the completion of either the half or full marathon. Lots of stories and even more pictures and a TON of fun. For today's post I'll just cover some of the basic stats from the weekend as I'm short on time. Darn, pesky work!
From the 60+ Leukemia & Lymphoma Society chapters throughout North America we had over 5,300 runners and walkers doing the event. An amazing sea of purple!
Those 5,300 Team In Training participants raised a total of $18.5 million!!! I believe it was the largest amount of money raised for any one event.
The Pasta Party the night before the event sat over 8,400 participants, staff, coaches, mentors, friends and family. Also the largest Pasta Party ever put on by TNT.
There were over 23,000 people competing in the marathon or half-marathon, and only 900 were men. So, for all you single guys out there..... keep Nike '08 on your radar!
More stories and pictures will follow. It was a great weekend with a few minor "problems", and, as usual, the 4 days went by WAY too fast.
GO TEAM!!!
