A Few Things My TnT Experience Has Taught Me:

• Running with a group makes the miles pass faster
• Try and stay on your feet
• Stay away from balloons (They mark the last of the runners at Disney ... anyone after the balloons gets picked up by the bus!)
• Listen to your coach, mentor and fellow runners -- they know what they're talking about
• Running without music is a good way to be alone with your thoughts
  
• I don't like cross country (I'm still sorry, Jamie!)
• There are a lot of supportive runners out there
• No one looks good in a Christmas sweater
• A run is a great way to start the day
  
• Rebel never gets tired
• Running in the rain is actually enjoyable
• Running in single-digit temps is not
• People are generous when you ask them to support a good cause
• Nothing beats a good pair of shoes
• People throw a lot of trash on the side of the road
  
• The first mile never gets any easier
  
• Showering at work isn't the end of the world
• Everyone should push themselves to do something they never thought they could
• Drivers don't pay attention to the road (or people running on the side of the road)
• You can never stretch enough (an IT Band injury hurts like hell!)
• The body can be hot and cold at the same time
• You really can change your life (and the lives of others) just by putting one foot in front of the other

REMEMBER, I'M DOING THIS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.
