NEWS!!!

My little cousin, Melissa (she's in her 20's) has just signed up with Team in Training to train for and run the San Diego Marathon!!! I'm so proud! And so excited for her! There is nothing at all like your first marathon. She's in for the ride of her life! Yay Melissa! I can't wait to be able to talk with her about energy gels, chafing, hills, fuel belts, hydrating, aching, stretching, form, pace, gear, shoes, body glide...and all the joys of marathoning. Most of all, I can't wait to go out there and cheer her on. June 1. I'm booking my flight now.

I'm especially proud of Melissa for joining Team in Training, a fundraising arm of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Luis and I have trained with them as well, and Luis currently coaches for them here in BK. We know first hand that LLS is top notch organization that has accomplished so much in the field of blood cancers. Melissa is not only taking on the challenge of running a marathon, she is also taking on the challenge of raising $1750 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! Go Melissa!
