Okay, I've completed a full marathon in 2005 and hiked the rim of the Grand Canyon in May of 2006, so now what? Well, its no rest for the weary...so I'm back on Team in Training's run team this summer. But I'm no fool, I'm training for a 1/2 marathon this time.

Cancer Sucks!

Just found out this morning that Brenda's (in the middle) biopsy came back with cancer. Brenda is a team honoree and teammate. Last year she was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)and went through chemo and a stem cell transplant. Starting Monday, Brenda is back at UCSF for another chemo infusion, but what she really needs is a bone marrow transplant. At this point, no match has been found....so if you haven't registered with the national bone marrow registry, please do so!!!

Brenda has a wonderful husband and two adorable sons. Plus, Brenda trains with TNT and has completed an triathalon, and a few distance running events. Most of all, Brenda is an inspiration for us TNT'ers! I guess this is why I keep coming back season after season.
