Team Transplant, UWMC

Superstars of the Week (s)…

Thanks so much to Cindy Weber, our water station helper out at Juanita Beach.   She braved a miserable day and hung out in a mud-puddled gravel parking lot just so she could make sure everyone finished the workout successfully and had water, Gatorade, Fig Newtons, and her own special homemade Granola Bars when they were done.   She’s even passed along the recipe…which I will be passing along to you very soon.   Cindy comes to Team Transplant as part of the Mark Scott, & Co package and has been an incredible supporter of the group for the past 5 years!

And let’s hear for Jennifer Herlihy and Lynne Sloan who managed the water stations last Saturday out at Alki.  Jen’s been on the team now for about 6 years and I think has done more half marathons than I have in that time.  Last year at the Rock’n Roll Half she set her PR of 1:59:48.   She continues to improve through incredible consistency and hard work.   It’s wonderful to see how running has become such an integral part of her life!  In fact, once she and Lynne were done with water station duty, they jumped out on the course and ran their 10 mile workout…That’s dedication!

Lynne, her training bud, is one of our nurses here at UWMC.   Lynne’s been on board with Team Transplant since the beginning and has been a huge source of encouragement and support along the way. She’s an awesome example of a healthcare worker walking and running the talk!   Last year she outkicked Jen at the end of the Rock’n Roll Half….It’ll be fun to see who comes out on top this year!
