Well- the training is going really well. I ran hill after hill last night in the bitter cold. I also went to bed w/ a high fever, and feel like absolute garbage, so I'll take today off. Just a few orders of business: A.) I'm meeting up with a family whose father has Huntington's today; I'm helping them look after their son once or twice a week, B.) I received a number of requests to join Team Little Flower (the most impressive was from a guy who runs extreme adventure marathons across the world), C.) I'm looking for someone to draw the art for the t-shirt (any takers?)
As always I'll leave you with some reading. The first is an article written some time ago about stem cells being used to treat Huntington's:
This second link is a story by one of my favorite authors, and also my best friend, which inspired me to run this race. Her raw, sincere style lends well to this story.
