Hi friends, Two years ago, I ran in the National Race to End Women’s Cancer with my brother-in-law, Ben, and my sister-in-law, Trina. It was a great and gratifying experience. I ran with a sign on my back to honor women who have had women’s gyn cancers. And together, we raised over $10,000.  At that […]

2018 national race to end women's cancer

In June 2015, I was treated for endometrial cancer at Mayo Clinic. In August, I got the all-clear on three years […]

Pure Serendipity: A Morning at Carmichael Training Systems Courtesy of Eucerin

March 24, 2011 by braveskimom

Every once in a while, the universe aligns perfectly. Such was the case last week. We had just come off five (I hate to say this, but I have to!) EPIC days of skiing at Copper Mountain and we were headed down to the big city to watch some college basketball. And then I got […]

Feats of Strength: Running, Cyclocross and Festivus

December 9, 2010 by braveskimom

One of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld aired in December 1997, when Frank Costanza introduced his son George and friends to the celebration of Festivus (“For the Rest of Us!”) According to the always abrasive, yet charming, Mr. Costanza, Festivus is an alternative to Christmas and is celebrated on December 23 through the “Airing of […]
