The MMRF is running an incentive contest this week. I really haven’t paid attention to the couple of contests they have run in the past. I don’t really need the incentive to raise this money. It is incentive enough that I feel like I am making a difference, possibly in the outcome of my mother’s [...]

This month is Blood Cancer Awareness Month! Most have heard of Leukemia and Lymphoma, but Myeloma is still considered rare. Funny how it is rare but I keep meeting people who have been touched by this cancer. I am proud to be running in support of the MMRF and the research they are funding. I [...]

I had two new experiences on this morning’s run. 1) a hypodermic needle on the side of the trail and 2) two snakes. #1 reminded me I’m not in small town Texas anymore and #2 made me feel like I was! . Though these snakes were not as scary as any Texas snake.

I wish I could say that the decision was well researched and thought out. But it wasn’t. Basically, I read the descriptions of the races on the MMRF website.

I have been feeling helpless the last several months, since learning of my Mom’s illness. Though I strongly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been on my knees every day since her diagnosis, I felt like my help was limited to this and knitting a hat to help her through chemo (of [...]

Haven’t done much on the running front lately. I have lots of excuses. Mostly aches and pains and very cold temps. All, not good enough. But I have found a jogging stroller! And once I pick it up from my sweet friend who is giving me her stroller, I will actually feel like I [...]

So after you make a decision, then tell it to a few people, it starts to sink in that you have to make it work now. This is where I can get overwhelmed, and quick. I could even talk myself out of it, if I tried real hard. “Most days I don’t have time to [...]
