Sorry it's taken so long to make another entry. Kath and I have been enjoying everyday, and not being computer savy it is quite a chore to figure out how to put in an entry. Things are going GREAT. Kath and I have spent many weeks at Black Butte. I have been running three days in a row and then taking one day off, then running three days. Every Saturday I run long with my oldest son, Michael, and my youngest daughter, Tiffany. As the miles begin to pile up, I begin to think of a goal to shoot for. As a result I am scheduled to run in the Timberline Marathon in four weeks. After that, I am shooting for my BIG one and plan to run my fifty miler the second week in October. Currently I am running between forty and fifty miles a week, so it appears I am on track for my goal. Yesterday, Tiffany and her husband, Andy, Michael and his girlfriend, Amber, and Kath and I completed the fifty-two mile wine and bike trip. We drank a lot of good wine, pedaled up HUGE hills, and had a great time! However, I did go to sleep at 6:30 that night. We're enjoying our new house. Had fun at the Olympic Trials with Harold and Karen. Kath and I attended a Sarcoma conference in Portland last month and learned lots of information. It is a little frustrating finding out that there is little funding available for sarcoma research. We did not realize that there were so many types of sarcoma. We also found out that it tends to hit quite unexpectedly....people are usually very healthy, exercise regularly, eat correctly....generally they have a healthy lifestyle. It hits like a bolt of lightning. They cannot identify any tendencies toward race, ethnicity, age, or sex. Needless to say, it was very interesting to find out all this information. There is a website that might be interesting for you to look up....it is www.team-sarcoma.net. One lesson we've learned through this whole affair is to live each day to the fullest and that is what we are striving to do. Oh, by the way....you wouldn't believe my hair....it is VERY curly and it is very unmanageable (it goes every which way). My mom keeps telling me how lucky I am to have curly hair, but no one would want to go through what I went through to get it. The next entry I make will probably be after the last week of September (after my next MRI/CT scan and appointment with my doctors). Here's hoping everything is going well for all my family and friends.
