"I'm back for more donations" -- That's right folks, I've signed on again for Team-IN-Training. This time we're headed to San Francisco for the Nike 26.2 Marathon for Women.

First of all, thanks to all of you that so generously gave for my first TNT Half Marathon (Dallas Runaway Train -- April 17, 2004) -- In case you didn't hear, my goal was to finish under 2 hours and 30 minutes. I crossed the finish line at 2 hours 28 minutes 58 seconds. This is what I look like after 13.1 miles!

This time, I'm going as a "mentor" -- which means I'm going to have other people looking up to me and asking me for advice -- should be interesting.

Again, I will be running in honor of my dad, Ron Smith. My dad is also going to be a "Honored Hero" this season.

I'm going to try this new website out at first -- of course if this doesn't work, you WILL be getting letters from me via the United States Postal Service -- so go ahead and look around on the site -- Be sure to take note of the DONATE page!!!

Thanks again for your continued support!
