This is my training log for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society TEAM IN TRAINING cross country ski team. We, and more importantly, those doing research, treatment, patient services, and those who have been diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma would very much appreciate your donation to this worthy cause.

UPDATE 2/2/2012
I got up to Bear Valley today for a brief workout. It was very windy but absolutely stunning! I have never seen the sky a darker blue than it was today looking to the east.
The folks up at Bear Valley Cross Country have done an awesome job and have opened quite a few trails, including some of the higher ones like Aspen Forest. Not only are they keeping these trails in great condition, but they are opening new ones and actually improving the ones that are already open
The team will be up at Bear Valley this Saturday so if you're up there, make sure and say hi!
UPDATE 1/31/2012
We finally got some snow about a week ago! Woot!
The team finally got to get on some real groomed Cross Country Ski trails. We only have about a month until our event and for many on the team this was thier first time on groomed trails. The event itself will be between about 13 and 30 miles depending on which lenght each individual chooses.
Here's a video I put together from our training session:
Dana managed to get up to Bear Valley agin on Sunday, and I did it on Monday.
