Looks like we have a new member of the club: Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Doug Davis was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer. This guy really stokes me though: nine days outside of surgery and he's back on the mound practicing. He's scheduled to pitch on May 9th and you better believe I will be watching.
This thyroid cancer club of ours is growing withs all sorts of athletes: Coby Karl of the Lakers (and son of coach George Karl), gymnast Lisa Potts and now Doug Davis. All we are missing is an NBA guy to round things out.

Not too much else to report. I'm in LA right now and absolutely shelled from a big training weekend: ran 2 hours (about 13 miles) of hills on Saturday, and then the exact same thing on an even tougher course on Sunday. 26 miles of hills over two days will take its toll, especially on this soon-to-be 42 year old body. Oh well, at least I should be ready or this 31 mile race in two weeks.
Here's a question I will leave with: WHY in the world do I keep subjecting myself to these crazy races?

You are an amazing person. Always trying to do more then the time before. Just remember the knees. They do wear out. Keep a slow pace and your will do fine. Juat save a little of your body for when you and Papa climb that big mountain some day. Nana
