Always Look On the Bright Side of Life :-)

My last blog was different...
I guess you can say I was upset, sad, and scared.
Still am because not sure what the outcome will be for my father-in-law.
He has prostate cancer.
He was diagnosed seven years ago, had surgery, was put on meds.
Everything looked great but, it's back :-(
They're going to do some tests to see if it is localized so that they can do radiation.
Crossing our fingers that it didn't spread.
Trying to stay positive... can't be negative, it doesn't feel good and it's not worth thinking negative when you can always look on the bright side of life :-)

Sooooooooooo... as I stated in my previous blog, I had written a blog and when I went to "publish post" it didn't work.
So, I'm going to repeat some of what I wrote... ready???
I'm going to try to stay on course here, thanks to the navigation we've learned throughout our journey.

On Sunday, June 27th the team got together at Mountsberg Conservation Area.
We were put through a MAJOR workout.
Trail biking, navigation, running, strength training, etc., etc.
I think we can all agree, it was insane but, we all celebrated with beers and C-H-O-C-L-A-T-E thanks to Shane and Susie!!!
We were also told that day that this was our final workout together :-(
We were all kind of taken back because we had just found out that there would be no more challenges together until The Rockstar Race on July 24th.

We will meet to find out who the two winners are this Thursday, July 15th.
If you ask all the women, who put their hard work, sweat, tears every time we faced a challenge... even those who got injured along the way, who they think won, you'll get a resounding "WE ALL WON"!!!
We've all learned a lot about ourselves and each other.
We have come to appreciate just how far we can push ourselves when we have the right people pushing us :-)

Keep working hard ladies, remember, this is another stepping stone to your next challenge :-)
XO to ALL of you!!!

  2. Yum, CHOCOLATE....yummy in my tummy! Hope your father in law does well with the radiation. Everything he can do to fight back gives him another chance at someone finding a cure!!! It's just a matter of time! They are getting closer. Hope you had a great workout today...gorgeous weather.
