Re: The 411 on me... not much too new, but a new wrinkle or two.

So glad your olympic and tour careers are intact!!! Fact is, I really can visualize you whizzing by on that bike with an intense look meaning..."I'm in it to win it"!!!
I'm glad for the good news that your current drugs seems to be doing the job they were hired to do! And it seems a good thing to zap that hip too and get it gone!
You are a walking/talking BC encyclopedia, but I wish you didn't know one word of it!
Hey, about this spare tire middle. Mine popped up this year and is most distressing! Makes the old clothes look totally goofy and me feel like an ol' gal finally! there just has to be a remedy that works besides 1 1/2 hours each day at the gym.
Brenda, you are so incredible. Thanks for the update and know you're always in my prayers and thoughts.
Hey, are you going to San Antonio in December this year? ma
