Media: TEAM TISH in the Courier Mail

Four members of "TEAM TISH" and I were featured in today's Courier Mail newspaper, the local paper for Queensland. We're running in the Brisbane Mother's Day Classic, on 8 May.

The focus of the article is about information on fertility options being available at time of diagnosis. Chemo can result in infertility, and in our case we were lucky that we had a chance at IVF. I underwent a cycle prior to chemo starting and as a consequence we have seven embryos waiting for us for use after my current hormone treatment regime (arimidex and zolodex) has finished (hopefully in 2014).

Mother's Day Classic 2011: Training

Every Sunday for the past four weeks, I have been doing the Brisbane Mother's Day Classic course as a training run. Some days are slower than other and some days I walk a little bit, but it's a wonderful start to a Sunday. Sure, it's hard to get up at 5:30am for a 6am start but it really does give me energy for the whole day. My running buddies are Julie, Bronwyn, Alex and sometimes Mike joins me too.

In addition to this, every Monday evening for the past three weeks, Tymara and I have been doing a training run in New Farm, which is about 3km. Recently we have also been joined by Carly and Louise. It's so wonderful to do something together that you know is contributing to something even greater.

I'm really looking forward to the 'big day' now: 8th May 2011. Please sponsor me if you can!
