Today I wake up to messages from friends and family wishing
me a wonderful birthday – what a blessed person I am!! VERY BLESSED as I also wake up to hearing
about a friends dad being home with hospice now and his daughters by his side,
knowing he will soon be in a better place with his wife. So hard to see others
lose both parents at such a young age to such an evil thing like cancer. A hard day indeed for them I am sure, and
makes me realize how blessed I am to have made it through another year with
good health that I should never forget I have! Another friend (who I have
written about a lot in this blog) Doug, had been released to go home after his
recent transplant, but this morning was re-admitted into the hospital with pneumonia
and low BP. My prayers & thoughts are with both families today! CANCER
SUCKS!!!! Stay strong all of you!!
Later today, I will head out with Mary Carey to Loveland to
get ready to race in the Lake2Lake Triathlon tomorrow – a training day for us
in preparation for our BIG race in August.. Yet again the race is being changed.
Two races in 3 weeks, crazy! They have shortened the bike due to the fires here
in CO, yet another thing to put life in perspective, people have lost their
homes and everything, but this is such a supportive state that hardly anyone is
in the shelters as friends/families and strangers are taking people and pets
in.. I LOVE IT…
Hoping to have a nice dinner with friends tonight and then work
hard to get through the race tomorrow … more to come after we finish… and after
I celebrate my birthday a bit with friends tomorrow night… more to come…
65 DAYS TO THE BIGGEST MENTAL AND PHYSICAL CHALLENGE OF MY LIFE!!!
