One of my goals for the year was to be involved in less. As of last night, having stepped down from my four-year post as the VA Director at the DC Road Runners annual banquet, I think I can safely say I have achieved it. While I’m still busy as hell between two jobs and trying to workout ~10 hours a week, every little…

We were told we’d have around a year with her following diagnosis, but time and again she keeps proving the doctors wrong by having “stable” results.
