The Color of My Shirt
So, I’ll share this….
One of the hassles about living with a chronic form of leukemia is that it’s always there. It may lie quietly in remission showing no clinical evidence of being there…. but it is there. You may feel strong and fit and like your old pre-cancerous self, but the monster is in there…lurking.

The Courage to Succeed
How do you define success in a race? For some, success equals winning. But “winning” itself may also take on different meanings for different people. Does finishing with a PR define your success?

Be respectful of everyone around you as you never know [...]
Carpal Tunnel Take 2
So here’s a funny little story… you might recall that I had carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand back in December. Well, my right hand apparently has gotten very jealous and wants in on the action. I’m not surprised as I knew both hands had very similar test results. So, long story short [...]
IM Lake Placid 70.3 Recap
Greetings!
I went a little dark immediately following the Lake Placid race but thought it was appropriate to share a quick update of my race with you. First of all – I’m ok. But I did have a disappointing day. The cold water temps and even colder air temps at the start presented a lot of [...]
