I've registered to ride in Ovarian Cycle's Ride to Change the Future to raise funds for ovarian cancer research!

This is close to home for me, because I lost a favorite aunt to ovarian cancer in 2010.

Hi, gang -

Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving Day - enjoying friends and familiy, that festive meal, great football on TV, and all the other traditions.

And speaking of traditions - exercise should be part of the holiday traditions.  What a way not to feel guilty about dessert! LOL!  Better yet - why not skip the dessert for run/walk through the neighborhood after dinner.

I found some virtual run challenges that I hope will keeping me…

Gosh, it's been so long since I've seen you all.

I have missed you! I'm writing over at another blog, for a company called BRDSport--go over and visit us at BRDSport.com (I write all of the blog entries for that company, and I'm also at their Twitter feed: @brdsports)
