Meant to be a Mentor.
Well...it's official.
Yours truly is a mentor. I'll be fearlessly leading the way in the fundraising efforts of 12 Chicago Marathon hopefuls.
After tonight's meeting....I've got my work cut out for me! Lots of stuff to do and organize. I'll start receiving my mentees info by the end of the week! Eep! I'm really excited. I just hope I can pull 'em all through the fundraising process.
Any brilliant fundraising ideas floating out there?
On another note....I'd like to congratulate Liz for COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY ROCKING THE SOCKS OFF THE BOSTON MARATHON! You're amazing...I totally want your running mojo. And I'd like to welcome Tara to the running blog community. She's new to all this and is seeking some advice from seasoned marathon runners, so if you have a chance, pop on over to her blog and give her your two cents...and help save her from the evil cotton socks.

PS...Phog says he appreciates all the kind words and support. He's feeling much, much better now and is actually looking like a pug and not a sharpei. And Little Miss Runner Pants....his full name is "Sir Phog Allen Prince of Lawrence." How do you like 'em apples?

Fundraising ideas? Hmm...I'll think about that one. And thanks for the shout out and warning about the evil cotton socks. I will be switching asap! :)
Congratulations! You are so going to kick some butt and be a wonderful guide. I'm still up in the air as to whether or not I'll be doing Chicago, but I'll let you know.
hmpf!
Congrats on your mentor status. Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm excited to move to the Chicago burbs in the coming 1.5 weeks. Looks like there are some excellent Chicago city runs, which I look forward to running. I'm in for the Marathon in Oct. This will be my 7th.
The first marathon I ran was with TNT and so I know being a mentor is a great honor. With your enthusiam I know you will be great!
I know you'll be an awesome mentor!! Is it time to start training already???
Brent and I need to sign up for Chi Town this weekend!
Sweet! You are going to be an amazing mentor.
Glad your canine prince is feeling better :)
HA! i totally forgot thats where i heard that. i was blogging about the swim this morning and wrote "how bout them apples?" and was like hmmm... who said that recently?!

Hi there! I am running the Chicago marathon as a mentor with TNT, also.
For a fundraising idea how about this...have your mentorees get their friends, family, co-workers, teammates, etc. to guess their finish time for the race. Charge a fee for each guess. The winner gets a predetermined amount. The rest goes to TNT.
Good Luck!
