Don't Forget Your Chocolate

By Steve | Published: May 17, 2009

Well …. Saturday morning, we leave for Long Branch New Jersey to get settled in for Sunday’s New Jersey Marathon. I have mentioned before that my wife and I are both doing this with TEAM IN TRAINING to celebrate my remission, to remember my wife’s cousin and .... just because we can.
