Summer 2009 finds us on our bikes... Bend, Oregon, Touring Colorado and then onto Iowa for our 18th RAGBRAI.

Took up Snowshoe Racing in the winter, a magical mix of tranquility and exhilaration. Ran a 7:04 pace 5K in Baltimore for St. Patty’s Day.

Looking forward to The Peaks Triathlon this weekend and a Half Marathon Trail Run in Sept.

Continuing my commitment to Team Survivor, serving on the National and Local Board and networking with a quarterly newsletter.

Basked in the glory of winning 3rd Place at Western Regional Irish Dance Competition.

Presenter to Local Organizations about the importance of remaining active and fit!

I made a list of all the people that have helped me along the way and in two minutes had over 40 people.... wow! Your love and support made alllll the difference....
