A better day

The follow up mammogram went fine today. I'm all clear for another 5 years or so. I have 2 dear friends, Erin and Meg, who lost their moms to breast cancer. Both of them sponsored me for my TNT event. I'll admit that I have been terrified the last 4 days, and the appointment this morning both uncomfortable and frightening. But what I have been through this week can't even come close to what their mothers and their families went through battling breast cancer. So tonight I dedicated my workout to Erin and Meg and I hope I have the chance to sponsor them in the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk this summer.

I was rushed to do my workout tonight. Kevin was still out of town and I was trying to squeeze in a 2 hour brick in on my way home from work only to get a call from the nanny asking for new diapers. I was so rushed. I got in 18 miles and on my way back to the car I forgot to clip out of my pedals and wrecked my bike. It was the exact same accident as last year when I broke my arm. This time I did not put my arm out. So I now have a mean case of road rash on my thigh, but I did not break my arm! Thank God for the extra cushion on my fat ass. I put in a great 3 mile run later in the evening after Kevin got back from the airport. It felt really good.

My most exciting news of the day, I made my fund raising goal, $5000!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has supported me in this endeavor!! Special thanks to my husband Kevin, Aunt Ann and Papa Tom who helped me in with fundraising to help me me this goal. I promised myself if I could get to $5,000 I would go after a half marathon later this year. I'm all in now!! Once I get past this tri, its running, running, running from here on out.
