This is off the topic but I wanted to share my good news with you. I ran the 5K Run for Education this morning with my husband and daughter. My daughter ran with a friend and Mark and I ran together. I came in at 34 minutes! June 2009 marks my 3rd annual Survivorship Anniversary.

I am not a runner, but am proud of myself for completing the race from start to finish. Now I am considering signing up for the Revlon Run/Walk come May! I went last year and had a great time celebrating with so many other Survivors, Friends, and Family members who went!

Take care to all.

    Thank you, Olga. Yes, I am moving forward! Cancer doesn't define who I am, absolutely! Appreciate your kind words.

    I don't run (unless I had to for my life) since I got out of the Army but I know for so many it is such a natural high. Well my Corgi and I will walk 5K once she's back in shape - yes she ia the one that is more out of shape. Give me my horses or bike and I'm ready to go.

    Congratulations!

    Ouch... my aching hamstring
    Thank you all for your encouragement. I tell you, this 47 year old body is aching this morning. My left leg, arm, and back are sore but I am smiling just the same. I will stretch out some more and take an aspirin.

    I look out the window and see the sun is out and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful Sunday! My love to you all.
