Love

Maureen and Bridget came by my house to surprise me because I was basically denying visitors.  I guess I felt like I didn't want to put anyone out or be like a sad story so I just tried to stay home alone and cry in my cave.  I was really happy that they came by and surprised me.  Bridget came around lunch time, rang my bell like a weirdo.. I hid of course because I never answer my door!  Of course I get a text saying "open your door hello I'm downstairs."  Gotta love my sista!  Maureen showed up later that night, driving from LI during rush hour, god bless her.  She basically thought..."I'm going to just drive there and show up... I doubt she will throw me out or slam the door in my face."  That was a true gamble on her part.... I opened the door for her obviously 💛

My family and close friends checked on me throughout the day and night.  I'm so very grateful to have them in my life 💙

Where Have You Been?

I can't believe it's been about eleven months since my last blog post! Talk about random updates. I guess because I use IG/Facebook for important updates in my life, my blog somehow falls to the wayside.  A lot has gone on so here is a little recap of the latest and greatest... 1. Joined a new team called Team Varlo. 2. Traveled to Turks and Caicos with Amy. 3. Listened to many of Amy's jokes. 4. I guess the jokes were OK since we both then decided to live together. 5. Celebrated my two year Cancer free Anniversary in Florida with friends. 6. PR'd a half marathon. 7. Ran another half marathon on a not so great Achilles which has lingered to now (my fault 100%) I NEEDED TO RUN THIS RACE SINCE IT WAS MY TWO YEARS OF BEING OUT OF CHEMO... but again.. my fault. 8. Traveled to Charlotte with Amy to hear more of her jokes in another state. 9. Celebrated my 42nd birthday with the fam. 10. Coached my niece's rec softball team again and survived.  I love those girls! 11. Pod...

Big LIFE

I was reminded this week that it has been six months since my last blog.  I promised myself that I would blog once a month but life and such things seem to detour me.  I honestly do feel guilty but I always say I will write when I feel it.  I guess I just wasn't feeling it for six months.  Yes, I've updated social media with the basics of course but here is a run down of the past six months for ya... 1.  I've been to Skyzone with my niece about twice.. I swear I will nail a flip one of these days and I promise to spend less money on the stuffy machines. 2.  I started my training with my triathlon coach Patti - HI PATTI!!  Hooray for healthy racing! 3.  Swam with the Masters #justkeepswimming 4.  Celebrated World Cancer Day... this year Cancer free! 5.  Decided to run the NYC Marathon in November of 2022 with Fred's Team out of Sloan Kettering - Please donate if you already haven't.  100% of your donation goes directly to Sloan and C...

Life is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

It's about that time....my random blog post. So back in September I completed a half Ironman up in Laconia, NH.  What some of you may or may not know (given if you read my post or not) is that I went into that race with a bit of hip issue and had it under control prior to racing but it ended up just not being the day I wanted given other issues through the race.  OK fine... it was not my day.  Now with it being a month or so past the race I'm finally starting to introduce running into my schedule again.  The issue/ injury just wouldn't clear up so of course the smart thing to do was to pull from marathon training and the NYC Marathon  on November 6th  (great news though... I am deferring to next year).  Am I happy about this... no.  But doing anything injured or in pain is not ideal and I would only beat myself up about my performance and or not finish (which is even worse to your psyche).  I guess the point I am trying to get to here is...
