Hello everyone,

We're experiencing another cold front in south Florida right now. I guess I shouldn't complain, we're still warmer than the rest of the USA, but I moved down here 20 years ago to get away from the cold. It's almost 10 AM and it's warmed up to a balmy 48 degrees, with winds at 15 MPH - BRRRRRR!

I'm supposed to do a 45 mile bike ride with my On Your Mark cycle team on Saturday, but it's only supposed to be around 38 degrees on Saturday morning. The warm, fuzzy blanket is looking mighty appealing!

I have ignored two of my blogs on the Orble.com network, to the point they were listed on the inactive blog list - YIKES! I updated all of my account information last week, and plan on posting to my I Love Herbs and The Pagan Path blogs on at least a weekly basis from now on.

Lynn Smythe is Running A1A Marathon

Good morning,

On Sunday I'll be running the half marathon at the A1A Marathon in Ft. Lauderdale. This years medal is really cool - it's a 3D shell medal, which opens up and shows the details of the race. This is the 5th year anniversary of the A1A Marathon. This is a local race for me, Ft. Lauderdale is only about 1/2 hour from my house. The weather forecast is for it to be 60 degrees on Sunday morning, pretty nice - south Florida has been experiencing a cold spell, but 60 degrees is the perfect temperature for running a half marathon.

Author Lynn Smythe, at the 8th Annual Butterfly Run

Hello everyone,

My husband and I participated in our first race for the 2010 season on Sunday, February 8. We ran in the 8th annual Butterfly Run, which took place at Sabal Pines Park in Coconut Creek, Florida. This was the first time my husband raced at this distance, 5k, or 3.1 miles. He finished in a time of 33:24, and was 13 out of 20 in his age group (50-54). This was my second 5k race, and I had a PR finish time (personal record). I finished in a time of 28:47, which was good enough for 5 out of 35 in my age group (45-49). Pretty cool!

I've fallen a bit behind in getting the links to my blog posts and articles posted up to this website. Here are the links to my latest online writing pieces.

Freezing in Florida

2010-01-11T07:33:00.000-08:00

I moved down to Florida, from upstate NY, to get away from the cold weather. We've been experiencing a bit of cold weather down here for the past week. Temperatures in the low 20's through 30's making all the farmer's a bit nervous. Nice change from typical heat/hummidity, but too cold to want to go for a bike ride or run. Should be warming up to high 60's, low 70's in another day or too - YEAH!!!!

Good morning,

We are experiencing a cold front down here in south Florida. It got down to 35 degrees last night. Just a tad bit colder than we're used to. Normally in the 60's this time of year. I'm originally from upstate NY (born in Rochester, moved to Lake Placid when I was 11), so I should be used to cold weather. But I've been in Florida 20 years, so I've lost my tolerance for anything below 50! Actually it's a nice change of pace, at least we're not melting in the heat as usual.

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend. I ate a bit too much, and didn't workout enough. Marathon of the Palm Beaches is on Sunday, so I'm doing my best to be prepared for that race. My goal is to finish the half marathon, so it is more of an event, and not a race, for me. Quite a few of my friends will be participating in the half marathon, so it should be a fun time.

Busy Racing Weekend

2009-11-23T05:13:00.000-08:00

Good morning everyone,

I raced both days this weekend. I did a 5k road running race, at the 23rd annual Delray Beach turkey trot. And on Sunday, I raced in a 15k time trial on my triathlon bike. The time trial was awesome; I shaved 2 minutes off my PR, won 3rd place in my age group, and won a whopping $10 in prize money, which I used towards breakfast after the race with my racing team. Pretty good weekend.

You can read the details on the time trial race, and see 3 photos of me at the race, by clicking on the Bike Diva blog post link below.

Charity Bike Ride
I just signed up to do the 2010, south Florida MS150. This is a 2-day, 150 mile road bike ride that benefits the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Please visit my fundraising page, to make a donation to this terrific cause: Lynn Smythe's MS150 Page.

Hello,

Update on my husband:

I posted this up to my Facebook page yesterday.

Ok, just got back from the urologist. The nurse we talked to this morning, who is very nice, was apparently smoking crack. Dr. did have biopsy results when we went back at 3.

Stage 1 cancer, high grade, more aggresive form, but still only Stage 1. Doctor thinks he cut it all out, stent remains in place from one kidney into bladder.

Once Rob heals from surgery, he will go in for immunatherapy once a week for 6 weeks starting on my birthday November 19. 2 weeks after last treatment, they go back in with a camera to look at inside of bladder, and hopefully remove stent.

No running or mountain biking or cyclocrossing until after stent is removed. That means Rob won't be able to go to Alafia fat tire festival, or be on the relay team for Marathon of the Palm Beaches. And he definitely won't be racing in the Tradewinds duathlon on October 18.

Then he goes for follow up visits every 3 months for a year or two. Then 6 months for another year or two. Then yearly for the rest of his life.

Uh yeah, no criterium bike riding either. He's gonna try and sneak out of the house and ride around the neighborhood on the beach cruiser. I guess the nurses/doctor thought he was an inactive old fart (he'll be 53 on the 21st). When I asked about light bike riding doc said okay. But when we were talking about duathlons and marathons and mtn biking - the nurses were all NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I think he is rather happy about the no running part, but the no biking is gonna kill him.

So, despite the biopsy confirming it is bladder cancer, still pretty good news.

My husband about to go in for surgery.

Hello everyone,

I took my husband in to the hospital for his surgery this morning. They think he may have bladder cancer. I waited with him in the prep area until they took him to the operating room at 10:50. They are running a bit behind schedule, surgery was supposed to start at 9:30.

Our house is less than 2 miles from the hospital, so I am back home waiting for the call to go pick him up. Biopsy results will take a few days. I'll let you know when I hear more information.
