National Cancer Survivors Day

Next Sunday June 2nd is National Cancer Survivors Day. After hearing the words “You Have Cancer” it changes your life and a day like National Cancer Survivors Day is such a powerful day!!!! I am running my 313th marathon on that day to celebrate!  I will never quit, I will never give in, because I am a Survivor!!!

Armed Forces Torchlight Parade

What a privilege to be a Guardian in the Lilac Parade with Inland Northwest Honor Flight! To have these Vietnam Vets tell me they have waited over 50 years to wave in a parade is going to be priceless!!! God Bless America!!!

Washington DC

Great visit to Washington DC! Was honored to be granted both a White House and US Capitol tour on this trip!!! Our Nations Capitol is so beautiful!!!

Mt Kit Carson

Great hike up on Mt Kit Carson today! Deep snow kept us from reaching the top, but we had awesome weather and we were within just a few hundred feet of the 5,000 ft summit!! Pretty awesome for our first mountain hike of the season!!

Bloomsday 12k

A beautiful day in Spokane today for the Bloomsday 12k!! This was the race that planted the seed for me to challenge myself to start doing 26.2 mile marathons 30 years ago! Who would have known that this seed would grow into something so amazing and abundant in my life!!

Finisher Medal

After 312 marathons each finisher medal represents 26.2 miles of fatigue, sweat, muscle cramps, and a lot of tears! But this medal I received at the finish of the Pink Ribbon Run feels like a precious gem since this was my 10th year participating as a cancer survivor and it too represents a lot of the same feelings I have experienced completing 312 marathons!!!
