Last night Miss Tea went to the 40/40 Club for an information session with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training® - the world's largest endurance sports training program. The program provides training to run or walk a marathon or half marathon, swim, hike, bike and run a triathlon or take on a century bike ride (100 miles). In attendance with Miss Tea were Miss Ivy and Fau, who left with a gorgeous door prize – a big box of cosmetics. After asking as many questions about why Miss Tea should NOT participate, she finally did it…yes, Miss Tea signed up to train for the Nike Women’s Marathon in October 2009. So you’ll be hearing Miss Tea talk about this ever so often this year, and will probably throw a few fundraising parties in the mix. Of course, Miss Tea appreciates the support of her family and friends…even the ones who snickered (ahem, Rocky). 
One of the items in our goodie bag was a discount card to Bikram Yoga, something that Rocky loves and wants Miss Tea to try. Rocky, so sweetly, offered to attend a few classes with Miss Tea so that she won't feel so self conscious about sweating like a piglet and falling over in some kind of twisted eagle position. Awwww…Afterwards, the gals headed over to Pranna for a cocktail quickie and dished on topics like the swine flu (and everyone’s over-exaggeration) to Millionaire Matchmaker’s Guide (yes, Miss Tea did by Patti Stanger’s book – need all the help here) to learning how to play golf. Looks like Fau will plan a golf lesson for us at Chelsea Piers…Miss Tea hopes she won’t hurt anyone with her…um…what do you call it? A stick? Huh?...oh…a club. Thanks Natasha 98! 
By the way, Miss Tea is not one for the sports bars (in face it’s more of a nightmare ambience) but the 40/40 Club was fascinating and the food was surprisingly good. For some reason, Miss Tea associated sports bar menus with pub grub…wonder why.
Anyhoo, stay tuned…

Great night and even better when I came home not only with my big, big box full of cosmetic but also with my Team in Training T-Shirt and the commitment to run with the girls.
