You're in my prayers SandraJean.  Let us know what you find out.  I have a friend with Hep C and Cirosis and I know what a problem it can be.  Take good care of yourself.

 Congratulations Jaime!  I've had a three-level spinal fusion and my surgeon and physical therapist tell me I'll never be a runner again.  I can, however, walk as much and as far as I'd like, as long as I'm not carrying anything  .  Ah, well, the trick is to just keep moving, isn't it?  You should be very proud of yourself.

May 9th was International Migratory Bird Day and here in Klamath they had a 1 mile run, 3 mile and 6.6 mile runs.  I ran the 1  mile and came in 4th!!  I have to say I was so darn proud and still am.  For the past 16 years it has been a battle with exercise and here I am I ran a mile!  Crazy and unbelievable.  So I understand your pride in the ladies from Eugene/Springfield and the joy you felt for them.  It is wonderful!

I send my Congratulations to the gals as well!!

Peace.

Topic: RUNNERS!!!
Who would have thought?  Today was the annual "take a hike" day at the University of Oregon.  I have done this fitness walk (a bit more than a mile) for the last several years.  In the last few years, they have added a fun run to the festivities.  Today, as I was leaving the walk to return to my office, I saw the runners coming in.  There were two gals from our Eugene/Springfield group who were running the race!!  I was so proud, you would have thought it was me who was running.

Congratulations to Kathy and Molly for improving their fitness level to participate in a RUN!  You GO girls!  I'm so proud of you both.

Linda

Best way to find out is to give his office a call.
