talked to Brent from Team in Training today, got to hear all about exactly what they offer as well as the amount I need to raise to do the race in January. I will meet with them on saturday to get all of my start-up stuff (their kick off meeting was in August, so they are already underway for the winter season) and they are having a 3 mile run/walk. Not sure I will be fully ready for 3 miles at that point, lungs are still protesting basic life, and work keeps getting in the way of recovery rest. But I will meet with the coach and get some advice there and see what the morning brings me.
As a side note, having a little bit of "fat kid in gym class" fears sitting in my belly, i know this is a big step for the process, but personally it is a HUGE step for me to be willing to meet with people in my current fitness level. Brent asked me what size shirt I needed and I told him XXL would probably be best, though if i went with an XL, the logo would be more eye catching (though probably slightly pornographic). He said he would bring a few options as the shirts run on the big side and i said, "good, so do I, but hopefully not by january"

A little bit of apprehension is probably only normal for all of us. This is a big challenge but it is also for a really good cause. And we get the benefit of better health in the long run.
Don't look too far down the journey, stay where you are now and once the lungs reopen for business, just try to stay with the schedule or somewhere near. You have a lot to be proud of for even considering this. You are not alone in this. Your Dad , Sis , and lots of TNT people are right there with you.
Go Team!
