Time
What is time and how do you feel
about it? Does it scare you or does it inspire
you?
You may have heard others comment that
all they have is time, or that, they don’t have enough time.
Managing time can be a challenge. Deep down, we know that time doesn’t wait...for
anyone. No matter what your status is –
rich, poor; or where you live or what you possess - you
can’t buy more time, or have more of it.
24 hours is 24 hours.
So, why am I blogging about this
topic?
I often have people ask out of
curiosity, how much time does it take to train for a race…like an IRONMAN?
My first initial thought is…A LOT. But, there’s more to it than that.
Training
and “life”, in general, is a balance. Like anything else, it’s the balance between time spent in training to
doing my daily job at school. To being a wife; to being a mother and finding time to
get the daily, general things done.
So how much time goes into
training? To help you have some understanding
about this question, between now and October, I’ll frequently post about my
training log and how much time I’ve spent on each event. More on this to come in a later post.
One of the purposes of this blog is
to allow you to feel connected in my LLS journey and in my incredible mission
with Team In Training.
For patients who have been
diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, time is of
the essence.
Every 3 minutes someone in the U.S.
is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 9 minutes someone in the U.S. dies
from blood cancer.
These diseases strike some 107,000
Americans each year and one-third of those diagnosed with a blood cancer do not live
five years past diagnosis. L
Here’s the hard truth: we are here on this earth for such a short
amount of time.
Please join me in my mission to
help find a cure for blood cancer.

In closing, we’re granted the same
amount of time. Ultimately, it’s what YOU choose to do with it that makes all the difference in the world.
Let’s take time to make
a change.
