Hey, all! I am excited to be a Team Reeve member. I completed my first marathon on July 11, as a walker, and I am very much looking forward to participating in the ING New York Marathon! I understand that this race isn't really officially walker-friendly, and so I will be working my way up to walk/running using John "the Penguin" Bingham's good advice. (Anyone who can get me, a 54 year old couch potato to lose 40 pounds and complete a marathon ought to be able to help me learn how to walk/run one, too!)
I started on this journey when a local police officer, Bob Heinle, died in February. Bob had been injured in the line of duty and lived with SCI for 11 years. The loss of this hero struck me deeply. Though I didn't know the family, I was motivated to join Team Reeve and begin. That day I started training, and also started my blog, http://run4spinalresearch.wordpress.com/
I look forward to meeting everyone on Team Reeve New York virtually, and soon (oh, very soon!) in person at the luncheon the day before the big race. Hurray!
