THE COOLEST CHICKS...

Last night was the send off dinner for our LA Marathon and SD RnR Marathoners...LA runs this coming Monday and San Diego on the 31st. One more send off for the Seattle RnR Marathon (June 27th), and the Spring/Summer season is in the bag! (And although I'm not a participant for LA, I suspect I'll do part of it with our teammates as we cheer them on, as well as doing SD and Seattle.)

Last night was also the start of our Fall team's social season, having had kickoff last weekend and first practice this coming weekend.

And the women above...both teams. Julie, Audrey and Becka are strong and dynamic and funny. They are passionate and interesting and diverse. When the second party ended...it was the four of us: conversation went from the lunacy of this marathon addiction to the insanity of radiation and chemo, to the pictures sent if on a certain dating website (other hand, Julie). We also discussed fundraising, men, cancer and moms...a very well rounded evening.

I'm pretty sure one of the funniest parts of the evening was about 11:30 when I mentioned to Becka that I was tired (we rode together). We got up to leave and Audrey yelled at us, "SIT DOWN, I'M NOT DONE." I'm so gonna have to use that one of these days!

I probably would not have met these women, if it were not for my Team in Training family... I feel so blessed to have them, and for my sweet friend Bucket who sucked me into this world of training and fundraising and fun!

Julie and Audrey and Becka... I love calling you my friends. I love that you are my family. You inspire me!
