17 more DAYS!!!

If you haven’t donated, but plan to do so, now’s the time. Only 17 more days until my first half marathon event!!! Can you believe it???

This Saturday, I am running my longest run of the training season: 14 miles! That gets me up and and over a half marathon distance of 13.1 miles, which will help during the event, knowing that I’ve already run the distance.

14 miles! And it’s gonna be COLD! Friday I’m going to have to locate my face mask to keep from freezing my nose.

I know I can do the 14 mile run. And I will complete it happily.  I will be thinking of those that I am running on honor and memory of. 

Here’s an update on Lula:

12/28/12 UPDATE: We're done with chemo (in Boise) and onto bigger and better? things at the children's hospital in SLC. Lu and I will be driving down on the 1st. Brand new year...

2013, we're counting on you.

Dec 30, 2012: In case you were wondering about the afterlife - here's information from Lula Coe. I am certain it can be trusted. Hell = angry, aggressive unicorns. Heaven = happy unicorns that will give you hugs.

1/2/13 UPDATE: Lula & I are in SLC. We had an appointment with the clinic today - her counts are low, but climbing. So, here's what happens now: We head to the clinic, every morning, at 7:30. Which means we leave my brother's house at (at least) a quarter to 7, to get there on time. On the day that her counts peak out where they need to be, they will call us and let us know. The following morning, she will have a femoral catheter placed in order to start the "harvest" of her stem cells. This process is called apheresis, if you want to look up more info. I'm going to post more information about what comes next, after we get to that point. Thank you all for your love and prayers! ♥

Again, If you haven’t donated, but plan to do so, now’s the time.

Thank you so much!
