I'm a bit behind in my quest to run 1000 miles again this year.  I should be nearing 700 by now, but I'm only at 647.  Still hoping to squeak by.

Just over a week until my first race of the season--the 20K New Haven Road Race.  If you haven't donated already, please do!  Here is the link:  www.krath4jane.com

NF Update:

Took the kids into Todd's lab yesterday for another MRI practice session for Jane.  For those who didn't know, we have been trying to train Jane to lie still for a non-sedated MRI scan.  On our current regimen, Jane needs a scan of her tumor every 6 months.   Jane is scheduled for her 18th MRI this December, and we’re hoping she won’t need anesthesia for this one.  We started practicing in February of this year.  At that time Jane would only stay in the scanner for a few seconds.  Yesterday she stayed in for 30 MINUTES!  We are so proud of her!  She didn’t even listen to music or watch a movie—she just listened to the sounds of the machine.

Jane (and her siblings) Update:

The kids started back to school today!  Everyone seems excited about their teachers and classes.  I think it's going to be a good school year :)
