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 [...]

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 [...]

4am. Time to get up. I never feel awake unless I shower in the morning, and race day is no different. Denise and I had smartly laid out our things the night before, so it wasn’t a rush-rush to get dressed. While Denise got ready, I braided my hair into pigtail braids – one down the left side and [...]
Last “long” training run
Posted in running, training, tagged crohn's, napa, running, training on July 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I was out the door at 5:15 this morning, to get in the final long run of training: 75 minutes. I ran past South Shore Park, where some folks were cleaning up from the Frolics, up to Russell, and back down to Saint Francis. The morning was cool and the sun wasn’t quite up yet. [...]

Fundraising first: If you haven’t yet taken a moment to donate on my Team Challenge website, and still intend to, please take a look now! The half marathon is just 13 days away, and I need your help in order to reach my fundraising goals.
And now, the long run! I went out at 6:30 yesterday morning, planning [...]

Long overdue TK update
Posted in crohn's, tagged crohn's, tk on July 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »
When last I visited upon an update of our dear tk, she was getting set to try tysabri, the drug newly approved for treatment of Crohn’s disease. She was released from the hospital on a Thursday afternoon, so she could go to the infusion center on Friday.
Well, let’s just say that she was not destined to [...]
