I’ve been withholding information for a few days. Now I feel that I can share. I had blood and bone marrow samples taken last week. I found out Friday that my blood came back cancer-free. I was waiting for the bone marrow results to get very excited — that came back cancer-free as well !!

What a week I had!! I was so very glad to get to Friday!! We had a nice, quiet dinner with neighbors on Friday; even got to fit in some quality time with my two best girlfriends at Starbucks!! Saturday was a full and busy day. For the first time since Aug. 30 I didn’t [...]
Continuous Mile and 8 Miles
Last night I peaked on my zero to 1 mile workout. I swam a continuous mile. It felt pretty good but I was a little slow on my time. I finished it in 26 minutes 45 seconds. It about 12-13 minutes off world record pace so no [...]

5:00am came very early Saturday morning. That’s the time I had to wake up in order to make it to our 6:00am team training. I am not a morning person by any means, so I’m slow and need as much time as possible. It was still dark when we hit the trail, thankfully the moon [...]
I stayed home from work today. At first is was because of my daughter, but a few hours after taking my chemo pill this morning, it turned into a day for me. The drug is in my system now and having some negative effects — mostly just nausea. I want to crawl back into bed [...]
I got in 1.2 miles tonight. It was a bit tougher since I am up to 1000 yards straight (heading to a continuous mile). I did the same workout this past Monday as well. Monday’s first 1000 felt really good. Then the follow up to round out the mile were a piece of cake. After [...]
