I'm proud to announce that I'll be writing every now and then for a new entertainment website aimed at women called Lillylikes.com. My first piece can be found HERE about one of my favorite shows, Grey's Anatomy.

Grey's Anatomy made me love Thursday nights again. Over the years, I've cheered and cried through the heartbreaks, triumphs and medical mysteries in this much beloved and diverse show. With the fifth season just starting, it looks to be another wild ride for our friends at Seattle Grace Hospital. So in honor of this new beginning, let's take a look back to some of the amazing things we've seen so far...

Marathon Madness

An amazing day at the Portland Marathon today that I'll need to spend more time detailing tomorrow. But Ken ran a great race and finished in the top 20% overall at 3hrs:47min:05sec. My family plus his mother, who flew out from the East Coast, were all here to cheer him on. We look forward to a restful night after a great day of physical triumph and celebration.

Getting ready to leave for the Race

We're gearing up to head down to Portland for the Marathon this weekend. Ken is looking and feeling good. I can't believe it's finally here. While I am not a runner nor have I trained with Ken, I've definitely taken note of what he's gone through. A lot of dedication and perseverance. While it seems like a form of exercise that is ultimately destructive to joints, being able to run lets you know you're still alive and reminds you that your body is capable of many amazing things. Next stop: Portland.
