Sing it Freddie. Good afternoon Folks, I hope everyone is slowly re acclimating to work. Good news here. I'm joining the Brooklyn Road Runners Club in preparation of my race. Check out their site here.
They have a 5k coming up this Saturday morning at Prospect Park, which I will be heading to. I figure I'll get a 5K in on Saturday, and then do a 9 mile monster on Sunday morning. I've been running for 3 days straight, and threw some weight training in there on Sunday. I'll be honest, though my body is feeling extremely fatigued, my endurance is increasing exponentially (that's to say, I'm able to handle the fatigue).
I inquired with the director of the NY HDSA about those "live strong" bracelets (in case there was a Huntington's version), so I could hand them out for donations at my races. I have a few awesome bands/artists on board for the upcoming Woody Guthrie event. More details on that TBA.
Being in News has its merits. I'm meeting with a science publications editor this week to talk about extending sections in textbooks about degenerative neurological diseases such as Huntington's and Parkinson's. Considering there is so much excitement about stem cell research in the science community, I think this meeting will go well. Will keep you posted on that as well.
One last thing. I was scouring the net, and found this testimonial of a Huntington's group. It's sad, but I have so much respect for the guy who wrote it. Click here for the link.
