Backstory

My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 2008. It was caught early. Aggressive bilateral mastectomy was the choice. My concern was the lack of a cohesive focus to find a cure. I wanted a definitive course, I wanted strong leadership, I wanted to know the solution. So, I did what any normally crazy supportive co-survivor would do... enlisted for an ironman.

Relieved

Well, the brief break in the posts were a result of test-result-anxiety. Lesly had some tests last week on a growth in another location. The test results were received today and the ruling was benign. Most enjoyble words that I have heard in awhile, and an incredible weight lifted off of Lesly's shoulders. She is out tonight with her breast-cancer group, hopefully celebrating. It was kinda like that first time waiting in line for an hour to ride the scariest roller coaster. Only you cannot get out of line. You know that the ride should stay on the proverbial rails, no issues, as was this case, but it is that slightest chance that it could derail which breeds the greatest doubt.

I have started to retrench my efforts to work towards a half-ironman that is scheduled for August. Baby-steps to the main goal. All is going as well as expected, just need to get in the water more! Cameron is starting to spur me on with "daddy go run" every time I walk in the door. Makes one a little conflicted.

Had a chance to see some of the graphics that are coming developing. Looking forward to sharing them with the group in the near future.
