STAYING AT (OR WITH) Probably the St. Pete Hilton. Assuming our Team in Training Chapter is staying there again.

EXCITED? YESSSSS!!! I'm mentoring for Team in Training again. I got my own entry so that our chapter has more spaces available for other participants. Last year we almost didn't have enough for the team. They do put a cap on how many can come from a particular chapter. I'm leaving shortly for a TNT info meeting to give my little talk.

I'm looking forward to the race.
