Attorney Stephanie Oginsky ran her first half marathon in 2006 as a member of Team in Training at the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco. Nine half marathons later, she’s still running. “It’s weird because I don’t really think of myself as a runner,” she says, “but I know I can do it now.”

Oginsky, an associate with Greenberg Traurig, began running to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training as a way to deal with the loss of her uncle, who died of lymphoma.
