IronMo: Now What?: November 2010
http://goironmo.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. I could not hate cancer more if I tried. Because yesterday it took my aunt, Betsy, 56 years young, after just a 4 1/2 month battle. By the time they found it, it was already hugely metastasized to her liver. She never had a chance. Thank goodness for Massachusetts Health Insurance, which at least allowed her to fight with dignity and without pain. And no pantyhose. Ever. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sweat Once a Day.

IronMo: Now What?: May 2010
http://goironmo.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. As of this Tuesday I am living with my parents again for the first time since 1993. Not sure how any of us feel about this! I am also signed up for the Lance Armstrong Foundation's Livestrong Challenge. Which I'll join in Philly on August 22. I'm signed up for the 70 - which looks kind of hilly - and I am riding in honor of RayRay. I am part of Team Fatty - Fatty is the guy behind FatCyclist.com. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

IronMo: Now What?: August 2011

I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. Because you know what would be AWESOME, when you thought you'd finally recovered, and spent 3 solid months putting in solid miles and feel like maybe you're back on track to be Pre-Grad School, Pre-Injury, kind of Mo (maybe even the Iron-Mo kind, if spirit if not in actuality)? But the hard drive is dead. So couldn't think about next steps til I arrived at work on Monday. I was psyched for Parks, on Sept 11. MCM is not ...

I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. Ankle update part 27. I finally (finally) got to see the orthopedist yesterday. a full 5 weeks after receiving the referral. Popular guy! They took 6 more xrays of my ankle (all weight-bearing) which showed nothing. So I am now scheduled for an MRI and a CT on the 16th, and am feverishly praying that my crappy student insurance actually covers it! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ankle update part 27.

IronMo: Now What?: July 2010
http://goironmo.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. That's what I am! It was lovely to be in Boston for a few days, seeing almost my entire family, including Betsy (missed my brother by about 2 hours), and walking around a place I know like the back of my hand. There is a gym at the office but don't quite yet know how to fit that in with being away from dog for 9 1/2 hrs - BEFORE a gym visit - and not affording a dog walker ($200 a month is the "best deal"! Sweat Once a Day.

I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. And again with the Bastard Cancer. Last week my aunt Betsy was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. Who knew you could even GET gallbladder cancer? My mom's been a nurse for 43 years and she didn't know! Fortunately, because of my connection with LiveStrong, we've connected Betsy with it as well, and she's receiving a notebook for the newly diagnosed that will help her keep track of all of her medicines, appointments, etc....

I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. My heart is broken. Into two million little pieces. It’s pain I haven’t felt since Matt died in 1998. Apparently this has been laying dormant all these years, for it’s right back up at the top. The only way I can describe it is that it’s like having your chest ripped open, and then your heart torn out of your body with someone else’s bare hands. Healthy enough to travel to NYC, and where we had a huge party celebrating him.

I learned to ride a bike while training for an Ironman. Surely I can handle this. I think one post a month is perfectly acceptable. Except that in Fuqua-time, a month is the equivalent to about 3 years. I got sick the day before Campout began, so I ended up bailing about 10 hours into it. 3:30 am drive home from school? No traffic. I love how I survived 3 months in NYC without ever getting sick, and get got the crud within a week of returning to class. I got an offer for Amex (yay! I missed two weeks of ...
