separated at birth?

At the old house in Renton, on or around my 21st birthday. Ian and I had been friends since I don't know, fourth, fifth, sixth grade, and it was a fortunate twist of fate (luck? chance? a plan between ian's parents and mine that nobody ever told me about?) that he was in town the day Mom and Paul were throwing a party for me.

I weigh 145 pounds. I've been out of the hospital for a week. It feels incredibly great to be out, even though it's hard work walking up and down the stairs, and I still get tired very easily.

After running two marathons in October 2010 with Team in Training, I've decided to "slack off" with just the one marathon in 2011.

This year will be in memory of Siona Shah, an amazing young girl who spent the final third of her too-short life battling leukemia with courage, grace, humility, and smiles.

It will also be in memory of my step-grandmother, Ruth, who passed away on June 15th after a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (starting with my initial diagnosis while I was studying in England).
