In flight. Adele in my ears, and two hours left to go.
Race day is Sunday. The past two months have been a bit of a blur, and yet, here I am. Life outside running has gone haywire since the May race. I began to write a few times, and [...]

Recommittment is this week. I’m on the fence, but I feel obligated to recommit.
In light of that, plans are in the works for another wine night at Vino 100 in Wauwatosa. Nothing is definite at the moment, but we will hold a raffle with all proceeds going to the CCFA.
Peggy is [...]
I’ve been away awhile.

The past three weeks have gotten away from me. I haven’t been writing, and for the most part, I haven’t been running. That’ll make the half marathon next weekend verrrry interesting.
I wasn’t mired in work, or overwhelmed with training. I was pregnant. Then I was scared, because the last [...]

From 11am to 5pm, Vino 100 in Wauwatosa will be host to a silent auction to benefit Team Challenge and the CCFA. Denise and I are working to get a great variety of items for your bidding pleasure; some already include a sampler pack from Oro di Oliva, and a private shopping party from [...]

Vino 100 Event

Denise and I have started working on this year’s Vino 100 fundraising event for Team Challenge and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation!
The date is almost certainly April 25th. The rest of the details will be hammered out over the coming weeks, but we are organizing a silent auction and a raffle, and of course [...]
Time flies!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a week since I’ve posted. I apologize to my readers (all five of you!) and myself. Writing really does help me through the week. I mean to put something down, and never do.
First, we had the first group training for Team Challenge Kona/Napa last Saturday.
It was a [...]
The eve of rest

Finally! I have a few moments to write to everybody. It’s been such a busy week, just with training early in the morning, work, and family. Getting out of bed by 5:30am has been tough, and I haven’t managed it well this week. The good thing is that I didn’t talk [...]
Tuesday’s visit

Tuesday was our travel day, back to Milwaukee. But Tuesday was also the day we were going to visit tk! I was looking forward to it the whole trip.
I talked to jd the night before, and asked if there was anything I could bring her. He indicated that she might ask for a coffee cake [...]

On Fundraising
Posted in ccfa, fundraising, training, tagged ccfa, crohn's, fundraising, running on June 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
If you were to ask me which was harder, the fundraising or the training, I would definitely say the fundraising. Asking people for money definitely is outside of my “comfort zone”. However, the money goes towards a good cause, towards finding a cure for a painful and potentially life-threatening disease. My honored teammate is going [...]
TK Update
Posted in ccfa, crohn's, running, tagged ccfa, crohn's, HCW, running, tk on June 13, 2008 | 3 Comments »
For those of you not on certain other avenues of communication, here is an update on our lovely TK. I am paraphrasing to start, then copying her word-for-word:
She had a sigmoidoscopy earlier this week, and the results are in. Since she “had the surgery to reconnect on may 27, the entire 8 inches of colon/rectum left has [...]
The Day After

First off, thank you to everyone who came out to Vino 100 last night. Each one of you helped make a difference, either by bidding on an auction item, entering the raffle, buying a glass of wine (or a bottle) or just chatting with Denise and I.
Secondly, I’m exhausted. It will be nice to have this [...]
