Wet Suits ... Barton Springs

Hey All!

Just wanted you to know I have updated the blog with pics! Proof I am training hard core.

Thanks to everyone who has donated!!!! We are almost there!!! I will be doing my fist tri- a practice run- in Corpus the 27th. It is a spring 1000 meter swim, 30km bike, and 5km run. It will help me get ready for the real deal!!!

The last weeks have been intense with training! I have also had to go to the doc since I was having some pains!!! I thought they were from old age; turns out I sprained my back a little but through a therapy called airrosti it should be good to go after five pt sessions. The great things training goes on as usual and I have already felt the benefits after one session!!!! Plus my doc is a cutie!!

Through all this doctor stuff, I have had a lot to think about and the reality is, I am training for someone else’s life. Yes, it is for gramps but the money I am raising is going to help someone out there. I am an advocate for someone that didn’t choose to have cancer. We, the team and those who donate, provide HOPE for patients and their families. That HOPE is wrapped up in new treatments, support groups, connecting patients with someone who has gone through the same diagnosis....this list goes on. Colleen wrote us an email today that said “When I first started working for TNT, I went to a remembrance ceremony at a local Children's hospital. There was a mother who had lost a child to leukemia at the entrance to the door that passed out a small card that said this”:

What Cancer Cannot Do Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith, it cannot destroy peace.
It cannot kill friendship, it cannot suppress memories.
It cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul.
It cannot steal eternal life,It cannot conquer the spirit.

I thought it was worthy of sharing! As I head into the final SIX weeks of training, the motivation that knowing I am training for someone else’s life, works wonders!!!!

So, as you know we have our open water suits! Well, some of us on the team went to Barton Springs early in the am for a swim! It was awesome!!!


Also, just a reminder that the deadline for donations in May 10th.
