Cancer Run this Sunday 10-28-2007!

Wow, I just have to say how touched was that more than my mother check the blog so regularly. Uncle Tom, the Nancy and Stephanie, and all of you out there who have stuck with the blog, even through long dry spells are truly incredible people. I would have given up on myself. Thanks so much for the comments, too. They are really motivating. Anyways, I should have given the folks up north a little more than 4 days notice about the run but I am really looking forward to seeing a number of you out there this Sunday. If there is any hesitation about "running" in a 5K, do not worry. My snail's pace will make anyone look good. Seriously, my Grandmother used to get around faster in her walker.

Anyways, I just wanted to give props to those who still check the blog. Also, good job on remembering your password dad. Watch out cyberspace, here comes my father. Here is the post from yesterday...

The blog has been left neglected again for so long. I am telling you this whole work thing is way overrated. It totally cuts into my travel time, my lounging around the house time, and my blogging time. This will just be a quick one to put out a little word about a run this Sunday. No worries if you read this after the run has passed. I commend anyone who actually checks this between now and then as I would have given up on this site long ago. I think it may only be my mother who checks it these days.

Anyways, this Sunday, at the VA next to UCLA, there will be a 5K/10K for pancreatic cancer research. The 5K is at 8am and the 10K is at 8:30am. I will give props to anyone who does both. It would be great to see anyone out there so if you are so inclined, go to www.lacancerchallenge.com and register. My father has started Team Tyler and if you join our team, there may be a little something extra in it for you. A few guys from college will be coming out. One showdown to watch will be to see if John can actually kick down Tom in the last 800m. Another to watch will be Ross Conklin. See if he can end up with some hardware two years in a row. Finally, there is a hearty handshake waiting for anyone who can take down the cancer patient (me). Also, we will keep an eye out for the big guy that was my nemesis last year (check out the post from 10-29-2006).

Also, I want to extend an incredible amount of gratitude for all of you who have already joined the team and donated to the cause. I cannot express enough appreciation for your generosity.

Here is a pic with Ross from last year. I hope to see you out there. TN
