I had a great experience joining Team in Training for my first marathon. It's a great group of people with diverse athletic abilities, so it was easy to find someone at my pace. The catch (if you want to call it that) is that it's a fundraising group for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society so you're obligated to raise some money (or make a sizable donation yourself). The entire experience changed my life forever.
