Many changes have taken place in my life. I am continuing in my business but
have consolidated it and created a new venture with my husband called Edgewater
Medical Consulting. Tom does consulting and I take care of the physicians’
offices. We are considering office space to accommodate our growth. I’m
still running and competed in a duathlon in Louisville in August, and came
in 12th in my division. Then, all of us in my Louisville running group participated
in a Virginia Beach half marathon in September.
