I know it has been quiet around here lately, but I've been super busy training with increased miles, water running, and P90X! Not to mention meeting with a nutritionist who is helping me get the proper proteins and carbs for training for a marathon (which I will go into more details in another post). Unfortunately, all of my activities came to an abrupt halt a week and a half ago. I came down with a bad case of bronchitis which turned into pneumonia, so no running for me. I've been so weak and tired that I could not even summon up the energy to write a post. However, that is not a good excuse for my neglect, and I was reminded of that when I received the profile of Olivia. There are kids out there fighting for their lives against leukemia with little to no complaint. They are not giving up. They are not sitting around whining. So it is time for me to get off of my butt.
In an earlier post I mentioned meeting the Cleveland Team in Training Honored Hero, Olivia. Today, I'd like to tell you a bit more about her.
