So, you think I'm a baller?

So, you're impressed that I fought my way through cancer. You might be impressed that I seem to have come out stronger on the other side. Maybe you're impressed that I raised a big chunk of change and rode a hundred miles. Well, I've got news for you. Apparently, it runs in the family. My cousin Robin recently received the New York State Innovation in Breast Cancer Early Detection and Research Award. I may have limped my way through, but Robin is truly a self-motivated person. She is a rock in our family, especially for her aging parents and her partner Una. Again, way to go Robin. You truly are a baller.

The legs are feeling much better and much stronger after a few days of rest and a little intensity over the weekend. Honestly, I think that it might have been the crashing. I guess you don't realize just how much crashing takes it out of you. My hand was doing much better until my classmate Mougnyan crushed it when he shook it on the bus.
