Did any of you see the Nightline episode about young adults facing cancer a few weeks back? Here's a link to an article about it http://www.abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Story?id=3623642&page=2 It was tough to see but it shed light on something I didn't know- young adult cancer survival rates haven't improved at all in the last 50 years while survival rates for kids and older patients have improved drastically. That seems so CRAZY! If you're interested, check it out.
I talked to Shabo in Crested Butte a couple weeks ago, and he sends regards to everyone. We talked about creating a memorial plaque or something along that line in CB. Just something to think about.
Hope everyone is doing well and that everyone is NOT as busy as me. Sunday, for example, is my first marathon and the Rockies' playoff game!
Later skaters, I'll tell you how much the running sucked next week! Oh, and if anyone would like a copy of the CD that I made for Jeff's memorial, just send me your snail address.

JJ - run that thing like a madwoman!! Or actually... don't. Run it at your own pace and enjoy the sensation of crossing the finish line.
Hey Matt! It was tough but I survived 30 degree weather, constant rain, and frozen legs to cross in under five hours! I even sprinted out the last 100 yards. Of course, I could barely make it back to my car... Even better- the Rox won! So let me know when the next race is and I'll get started on my training right away-I can't wait to run another one. 26.2! Feels great!
Yeehaw! Nicely done! I'm checking into different races and it looks like I've suckered Lilia into running a half marathon on the same day... whatever that day turns out to be.
I'm thinking March or April sometime.
