2009 LIVESTRONG Challenge - Another Great Opportunity for Exercise

[kamala 0]

The Lance Armstrong Foundation is once again sponsoring the LIVESTRONG Challenge in four cities this year: Seattle, Philly, San Jose, and Austin. There are walking, running, and cycling events, with a variety of different lengths for different skill levels. The events are six to ten months away, so plenty of time to put your band to good use in training to stretch yourself for a great cause. I'm getting banded in March and already training to complete the 100-mile bike ride in Seattle this coming June.

A favorite bike blogger of mine is a guy who knows the challenges of being overweight and has put together teams in all four LIVESTRONG cities in honor of his wife, Susan, who is fighting cancer herself. His blog is at www.fatcyclist.com and the post on Team Fatty is here: Team Fatty Livestrong Challenge.

You can go directly to the Team Fatty page for the city in which you would like to participate by following these links:

Any other bandsters interested in taking the LIVESTRONG Challenge in 2009!?
