Fighting osteoporosis
Naturally – and winning.
I was diagnosed in 2004.

New Race Time!
Yesterday I set a new personal record for 5K time: 35 minutes 36 seconds. Just think! A year ago I hoped I could at least finish a 5K, walking the entire way. Three years ago I was worried that I might have to give up my job working upstairs because my feet hurt so bad […]
