now is probably the most important time to stay grounded in why we're doing this, bc it is the busiest in our outside lives (new job for andrea, end of school year wrap up at work for murph) and the most intense trainings (1hr45min bike AND 45 min run tomorrow, starting on upper west side - an hour from our apt - at 6.45 am). it is asking mucho mucho mucho of us right now, and we're trying hard to hang on and hang tough.
and why try: bc cancer is a bunch of malarkey. a bunch of total bs, and we know it first hand and this is a way to fight the fight that needs fighting and celebrate the fights that we've won. cancer must be cured - it just ain't right that it exists at all. we are funding, with your support, research that can and will make that happen. that is why we go to bed so obscenely early on a friday, why we get up so disgustingly early on a saturday, why we're in PT to keep going, why we're pushing on in the face of difficulties on many levels: our push mirrors, supports, and celebrates the push to survive. it's as real and as simple as that. real simple.
