Who I'm Running With This Weekend
Even though all my friends and teammates from Team in Training won’t be with me this weekend when I run the Illinois Marathon they will be with me in spirit.
These two photos will be pinned to the back of my Team in Training Jersey this upcoming Saturday
My Teammates from Team in Training.
All the people who I ran, swam, and cycled with.
The people who trained me and the people who I now help train.
The people who trained me and the people who I now help train.
You give me the super human energy & excitment I have every Saturday morning.
My Inspirations
- My Dad – A cancer survivor who worked a full time job while FIGHTING CANCER, so I can stay in college. He is the first person I call when I finsih my races.
- Firiza, Ryan, and Robbie – Cancer Survivors who each have completed a marathon.
- Eddie, Keegan, Katie, Paige, Fabian, Emily & Katie – Children who left their families to soon and lost their life to a blood cancer.
According to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Website:
- Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20.
- Every 10 minutes, another child or adult is expected to die from leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. (145 people each day, or six people every hour.)
- An estimated 138,530 people in the
As Kegan Grant said durring his cancer treatment, "You can be happy or miserable either way the distance is the same." You dam well know, I'll keep a smile on my face every mile durring any race if a little boy facing death and going through hell can keep a smile on.

OMG, only 6 days until the Illinois Marathon. Time to start packing!!
Six more days until I run my sixth marathon down in Champaign-Urbana. If you’ve been reading my status updates on Twitter and Facebook you know I fell pretty confident in my running. The other day I ran 7 miles along the Chicago Lakefront under an hour. That is even sticking with 5 minute run to 1 minute walk intervals. Training aside, I need to pack for the Illinois Marathon.
Just read the following items I need for race day:
- Running Shoes. – Goes without saying.
- Team in Training Running Jersey – Have to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Have you donated a $1 yet to my fundrasing page?
- Running shorts – I’m not running naked in this race.
- Sun Glasses – So I don’t squint my eyes. Every little bit of energy counts. I might have to buy a new pair at the expo.
- Team in Training Headsweats Visor – So the sun doesn’t get in my eyes and to support the Team.
- Two Pairs of Running socks. - Wearing two socks helps prevents blisters.
- Garmin Heart Rate Monitor and Watch – To help me watch my pace and keep track of my 5:1 intervals. I plan on doing a 8:50 to 9:10 minutes per mile pace.
- Body glide. –Helps to prevent chaffing. Something no runner should ever be without.
- Band aids. - To prevent bloody nipples. Yes it has happened to me. The shower after that one fateful training run was quite painful.
- Five Strawberry Banna Gu's - For energy replacement.
- Fuel Belt – So I can have water, Gatorade, and my Gu’s when ever I need it.
- Sun block – to prevent skin cancer.
- Pretzels – I get really hungry after mile 20 and to help replace all the sodium I lose while sweating.
- Running pouch – Something To carry my pretzels.
- Race Bib – I’ll pick up at the expo on Friday
- Running Chip – I’ll pick up at the expo on Friday. "No Chip, No Time."
- Photos of my inspirations – Pretty much my dad, cancer survivors and all the people I train with.
- Extra pins – To pin my bib, gu’s and photos to my jersey
- iPod Shuffle and Headphones – That little extra boost in my head.
- Throw away shirt
- Team in Trainining Head Band
- Running Gloves – Incase it’s cold on race day
- Running tights
- Underarmor
- Plastic Bags - so Snow doesn't get in my shoes like the Shamrock Shuffle last Sunday.
Why do I need so much stuff you might ask? I’ll be running 26.2 miles. It’s pretty much a 4 to 5 hours for me. I need to be ready for all the contingences. Something that you’ve been training for 4 to 5 months is a big deal. Usually things that are big deals, at least for me, require a little bit of planning and a list so I don’t forget anything before I leave for the race or my house for that matter. Most people don't realize how much thought goes into these endurance races. I just thought I share my list with you.

Your Old Cell Phone Can Save Lives!
If you have a old cell phone lying around collecting dust give it to me!
Why, you ask? Your old cell phone can help cancer victims.
There is a company that will take old cell phones and make a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Old cell phones and batteries will be recycled.
This is a win-win. You're saving the environment and your saving lives.
Please e-mail me at bobby.dobroski@gmail.com or hunt me down on Facebook. We'll figure out a way to get those old dusty cell phones to me.
Or you can make a $1 donation using your credit or debit card on my Team in Training Fundrasing Page then pass on the link to your friends & co-workers!
This summer I will be competing in the Chicago Triathlon Triple Challenge. That's a total of 68 miles of swimming, cycling, and running in one weekend to help victims of blood cancers. Just to break it down: 1.63 miles in the water, 44.67 miles on the bike, and run 10.85 miles!
