http://runningstrongforhope.blogspot.com/2015/03/an-accidental-absence-of-solitude.html

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. Sunday, March 15, 2015. An Accidental Absence of Solitude. Back from a much too long absence. I haven't gone anywhere during this absence. I haven't made any major life changes during either. It has a been an absence of solitude. Solitude or maybe perhaps better defined as loneliness. It has a been a slow decent. I thought the worst years were behind me. But I was wrong. The most difficult years were behind me. Or so I thought. Honestly when we a...

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. It Is Not the Length of Life, But Depth of Life" - a tribute to Sean. My guest blogger is my LIVE STRONG. Friend I made while running the Philadelphia LIVE STRONG. What follows is a euology she delivered yesterday at the funeral of her friend Sean, who fought bravely against cancer but ran out of time. What she shares applies to each and everyone of us. Take a look at your own life - are you living it fully? This cou...

RunningStrong for Hope: Lessons from the Bike

http://runningstrongforhope.blogspot.com/2015/07/lessons-from-bike.html

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Lessons from the Bike. I don't often go for long bike rides on country rides alone but this evening I did. Not too far but 20 plus miles squeezed in after work, camp pick-up, dinner and car-pooling to basketball practice. A rare night this month without threat of a monsoon rain and flash flood warnings. Clear blue skies, perfect temps, a light breeze from the north and sunshine. Rare indeed. I was listening to the chirpin...

RunningStrong for Hope: Wait.....What Day is Today? Life Really Does Go On.....

http://runningstrongforhope.blogspot.com/2013/08/waitwhat-day-is-today-life-really-does.html

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. Sunday, August 11, 2013. WaitWhat Day is Today? Life Really Does Go On. It only took 9 years. And it took my 9 year old to make me realize it. Today I went on a bike ride with my daughter, as we so often do. A short 5 mile ride to grab lunch and hit the library. Nothing out of the ordinary. Along the way, we chatted.as we so often do. My mind began doing the math. This was a first. And all the days leading up to the day Brian passed away on Frida...

RunningStrong for Hope: 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall

http://runningstrongforhope.blogspot.com/p/2012-chicago-marathon-honor-wall.html

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. In October I'll be running my 6th marathon and my 20th event for Team LIVESTRONG, raising over $50,000. The Marine Corp Marathon is an inspirational event all on it's own given the fact that I'll be running past the Pentagon, the 9/11 Memorial, the US Capital, and the countless Marines that plan and support the race. I keep running marathons for more than personal accomplishment. Each mile I looked down at my...

RunningStrong for Hope: Lance Through the Eyes of a 9-year Old

http://runningstrongforhope.blogspot.com/2013/01/lance-through-eyes-of-9-year-oldand-me.html

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. Saturday, January 19, 2013. Lance Through the Eyes of a 9-year Old. I suppose you heard a little story that involved Lance Armstrong this week. Perhaps you listened to all the speculation about an interview he had with Oprah this week. Perhaps you read a lot of articles and opinions about the interview - before and after it aired. And perhaps you actually took the time to watch the interview. And I love that. I wanted to make sure she knew what w...

RunningStrong for Hope: August 2012

http://runningstrongforhope.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. When the heart grieves over what is has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left. 8 years ago I endured the worst 24 hours of my life. 8 years ago, Brian was taken into emergency surgery. From the same hospital bed he had spent the last week. From the moment he was admitted to the hospital for a low blood count. To the moment he returned from "exploratory surgery" which identified cancer throughout his body. Angry...

Hula Hooping 4 Hope. 2013 Marine Corp Marathon Honor Wall. Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves." Jawaharial Nehru. Timewhen you time about it, really think about it, it is a funny thing. We waste it, we set our day by it, we let time make decisions for us. But today.today is a day that marks time for me and my family. August 20, 2004.one of those days that changed our lives. Since August 20, 2004, I have taken ...
