Running schedules how TNT itself works?

communityreply@lls.org — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:22:04 GMT

i was just curious how the running schedules go? How do you find out when and where you run with your team for practice and all that? I live in Reedsburg, WI 53959 and closest place to me is Madison WI.

Can anyone help me out?

I am lookin to do half marathon, thinking of the Rock N Roll Mardi Gras if madison wi is still doing that one.!

Would like to join VTNT

I am starting to get really frustrated as I have for years wanted to raise money for TNT and it seems like getting registered to be a participant isn't so easy.

I have contacted both the local Chapter and the National Chapter. The local Chapter is about 5 hours away, not very practical for me to attend a meeting mid week. I have sent email messages to both chapters to get information on registering. What I get back is a link to the website. I wouldn't normally say I am an easily confused person, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to sign up as a participant on the website. Is there some "secret" as to keep people that aren't serious from signing up? anyone want to clue me in on what I am doing wrong?

I don't mean to complain, it;s just that my mom died of lymphoma 16 years ago this month, and I have wanted to run for TNT for about 8 years now. Finally I am in a place where I have time and energy for training and raising money. I am already running 13 to 17 miles on the weekend and would like to do a marathon. I've got friends that would happily donate and I would like to raise money for team in training, however, it is starting to be really really frustrating. any advice? It's also frustrating because this board is not easy to use and doesn't appear to have much TNT train use. Just frustrated. Sorry for the rant.

Brand new. Questions.

I am not too sure what all this stuff is.

What is TNT? Can it help me since it appears the closest chapter to me is several hundred miles away?

I'm looking for some help and motivation in training for the 2010 WDW half marathon. Raising money for a good cause is an added benefit.

Thanks.

I love the name Virtual TNT, Because the web is everywhere and so is the fight against Cancer. I travel away from home allot for work, so the web is my contact with my Team, Friends and Family back in the states. But in my travels I have met people from all over the world that donate through me to TNT and we always end up talking about Leukemia and how it is all over the world and the progress that has been made in the states have helped people from France to Colombia to England to Ireland to Italy. So I thought it was great when I saw a video of a TNT Team from California running in the Roma Marathon, This is a world problem and the more people that know about TNT and LLS the better. Just one person can change the world for the better; Because one will tell two and two will tell four and so on and so on. So Hats off to our international TNT runners. Now if we can get a Cyclist in the Tour De France. That would be something!

Work has got crazy, so this next season I am going to have to do my event as a Virtual Marathon Team

Well my schedule has gone crazy this year, so I am going to have to start doing events as a Virtual Team.

Step One Find a TNT event that I can run with my schedule.

Step Two Find the cost of the event and make that my 25 percent of the GUAL to raise be able to go.

StepThree Raise double that GUAL! AND TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN!

Step Four RUN MARATHON MAYBE A TRI?

This will be my first time trying this, so I'll keep posting here about the process.

How can I be a Virtual TNT mentor?

marysmarathon@gmail.com — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:44:27 GMT

I just completed the Mayors Midnight Sun Half-Marathon in Anchorage Alaska on 6/20/09 with TNT. I am now training for the St. Pete Women's Half Marathon in November. I signed up for this next half on my own but note that TNT is a sponsor. My area is offering VTNT training but I have been unable to get any answer on whether or not I can be a virtual mentor. I would think VTNT would want mentors as well as coaches. As someone who raised over $5000.00 in this economy I think I could offer ideas on fundraising. Also, as an over 50 slow runner using the run/walk method I believe I could provide inspiration to others. I finished my half in 2hrs 53mins on a very hilly course while stopping to take pics and stopping at all water stops. This was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I was not a runner in the past and only began running last May.

Any ideas?

TNT and overseas participant

communityreply@lls.org — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 06:40:07 GMT

Hi! I am looking for info. I want to participate in TNT but we are stationed overseas. I would like to run either the WDW Half or Princess half. Does anyone know the fundraising minimums? I do not need the room or airfare to be covered for me as we already have a room and we fly over ourselves. I just want to raise money.

Thanks!
