Purple

[3 purple toenails and my running days just might be over. Every step is uncomfortable but sitting on that spin bike this morning was b.o.r.i.n.g. 15 miles SPUN and DONE. Good thing I ran into Rachel again.] January 25, 2016

[On the other side! I’ve been awake since 2:30, out of bed since 4, 5 miles at the gym by 7, PICC line placed by 8:45, laughing with Dr M by 11:30, infusion done by 3:30. Now I’m POOPED. Too bad I just took another dose of steroids 😳] January 13, 2016

Steady For The Win

[I’ve been struggling this week with getting both feet off the ground which has led to some real self doubt. After 3 rounds I just don’t feel quite like myself and that is hard to swallow. I can hear the clock constantly ticking toward the next round and yet another week of staring at my…

STRONG

[My sister-in-law wanted me to barge into MSTI today and yell, “I’m here, bitches. Let’s do this!” So I ran 5 miles at the gym to get pumped up first. That’s for you @bamabelleish. I blame the 3 doses of steroids but it felt great. My white cell counts were off the charts high and…

Look Out[side]

[I was sitting at home feeling badly about my bald head until I remembered #4boysstrong and Kieran’s beautiful bald head. Then BOOM I got dressed and ran 5.3 miles in 23 degrees.] November 28, 2015

Deadlines

[After painting the dining room for 2 days while it rained, this morning I went on my last run. 5 miles then a great hike with a friend to put me in a good place. First chemo infusion tomorrow afternoon, but I may have a few tricks up my sleeve before then.] November 11, 2015

Did You Hear Something?

[10 days. 6.5 miles because I’ve been looking over my shoulder all week wondering what is going to catch up to me.] October 9, 2015

This ≠ That

[13 days. I read too much on the internet last night and today I want to hide. Good thing I know better and ran a little farther this morning.] October 6, 2015

Deja Vu

[After a few bad days I am on the upswing. Thank you to the wonderful friends who held me, cried with me, and fed me and the girls like we were stray kittens. After 2 weeks off I went for a short run this morning. Felt like I had a hitch in my giddy up…
