Hello All!
I went through treatment for Hodgkin's Disease (I'm clear now!) last year and now that I am healthy again I want to reward myself with getting back into shape that I haven't seen in years. I watched my cousin run a sprint this summer and decided that a triathlon wasn't too lofty of a goal!! I played field hockey in high school but haven't really worked out regularly since (and I'm in my late 30's!!!!) I do walk a lot and have been doing yoga for a few years and I am eating much healthier and have always been thin so I'm not starting totally from scratch. Enough rambling!
So, I'm annoucing my intention to run The Mighty North Fork Triathlon next July to as many people as possible so that my brain and heart take me seriously!
Thanks for listening,
Ruth

Hey Ruth,

From one beginner to another, good luck on your training and congrats on deciding to do your first tri. My first sprint is in four weeks, hopefully it won't be my last, haha. Great to hear that you're finished with your treatments as well, my mom is going through chemo for another disease right now and it's an inspiration for us to see someone who's clear training for a triathlon. Good luck!
