SUCH A PERFECT DAY TO GET YOUR REAR IN GEAR

MY TEAM....minus Drew, Matt, Joyce, Lou, Rebecca, and Chris.

What a perfect day to get our Rear in Gear in KC. I was thrilled that my team "TEAM KOPPEN" raised over $1800.00 to support Colon Cancer. 75% of the donations will stay locally to support colon cancer. I am thinking I would love to travel to all the GET YOUR REAR IN GEAR races and participate in them. That way I am supporting a great cause, and traveling! I'm not sure Andrew will fall for that. :) So, Thursday I had my liver biopsy and remained in the hospital for 4 hours following the procedure which was described to me by the radiologist as "high on the scale of difficult procedures due to the location of the spot on my liver." Yes...I know, I just can't do anything easy. I can't seem to catch a break in this area. ;) It was not a bad procedure minus the pressure and pain of having to go through my ribs to reach the spot....but it was done and over before I new it. Then I had to practically beg him to let me participate in the 5K on Saturday. He did finally give in if I promised not to push it and stop if I had any pain or discomfort. I completed the 5K with a 15 minute mile pace and thought that was pretty good...considering! :) One of these times I'm going to run it. :) It was such a perfect day. Thank you to all that participated and helped make it a great event. I love you all!!!! Check back for results of the biopsy soon. :)
