Go Granny, GO!

After all this blogging, I realized some of you have no idea who my Grandma Lila is. Yep...that's her in the sunglasses. Pre-chemo, of course.
She is the most ambitious and hardworking woman I know. Back in the '40s, long before women played sports, my grandma loved to play basketball. It wasn't the kind of ball playing we see in the WNBA. It was a much more dainty version. But all the same, it wasn't the norm for high school girls.
Then as she grew older, she loved to play and watch tennis. Then the sport of choice became running. She's always had a million ragedy old race t-shirts from the many 10ks she competed in.
When most grandma's were knitting, mine was off lifting weights or jogging around town. In 2000, she hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with camping gear on her back.
So as she finishes her 5th round of chemotherapy today, I know she's fighting hard. No challenge is too great for my grandma.
