    Traci, Lorrie, and ALL of the Kindred Spirits walking for and with someone~ I love you! I am never ever gving up~ this is not the end of my walking, just a detour on the road. And...though I didn't calculate my steps, my sister and I WALKED for close to an hour (!!!) at a classic car show held in town on Saturday~ and did window shopping, too! Please tell me that counted! I amazed myself! Perhaps I really just need someone to walk with who doesn't care how slow I am, and doesn't mind that I stop to catch my breath...I felt EMPOWERED!
    Which is what I needed...this afternoon I go in for my 2nd Zometa infusion and the OWIE Faslodex injections. My oncologist has ordered the drip to take an hour rather than half and hour~ we are both hopeful ( I more than he, I am sure!) that slowing the infusion rate will lessen the SE's I experienced last time! I'm all for that!

    Keep walking, sisters...you give us encouragement and strength!

    Okay, last week was a whopper
    I walked/ran 29 miles last week so that brings the total up to 167.09.

    Chen, I wasn't going to post after seeing your last message because I didn't want to make you feel sad in any way. Based on your follow up posts, however, I think you are finding inspiration in this thread. I am certainly finding inspiration in you. I am amazed that you went ahead and walked for an hour. You are incredible. Don't stop!

    Best to all,
    Clementine

    Walking for you who can't right now
    We all have times when we can't keep up with the rest, and that's when the others take over, knowing their time will come (or has already come and gone), and that someone would step up then!
    Slow and steady wins the race (but who's racing?).

    Walking and riding our bikes for Marsha Mulvey!
    My hubby and I walk or ride our bikes several times a week together. We really love it when the weather is nice and there isn't a strong wind blowing us around. lol

    Marsha Mulvey is one of the sweetest pink sisters I have ever seen on this site. She is in the fight for her life, but, you seldom have seen her post until lately, and, that is because there were so many shout outs to her, and, I hope she keeps updating us.

    She always encourages everyone without asking for any sympathy or drawing attention to herself or her chemo or health issues. You are one amazing, courageous sister!


    So, Marsha, my miles are dedicated to you, my friend.

    ♠♣ Love, Susie ♠♣

    Oh Clememtine~ bless your heart! I have been a member of this awesome online family since 2003~ and have seen so many friends in so many circumstances~ good, bad, depths of despair, giddly with joy and everything in between! I perhaps shouldn't have used the word sad...disappointed ( ok and a bit whiney! ) about my situation right now is a better word, to be sure. I certainly rejoice and am so proud of all of your achievements~ be it doing a triathalon or walking to the mailbox! They can all be personal bests, can't they?? And they are! Please, never hold back from posting accomplishments and letting us all know they are possible before, during, and after cancer!!!! I am so honored to be a part of this amazing family of strong women~ and right now ( even though I am a bit hindered physically) I am pleased I walked and I am also living vicariously through you! Walk/Run on!

    Hugs,
    Chen

    For Laurissa
    I don't walk regularly, but, on my walk today, I dedicated it to Laurissa.

    I know how hard you have been struggling with chemo, your husband's surgery, your financial problems and even more.


    You deserve every mile I can walk for you!


    Hugs, Angie

    Love you, Traci thank you
    Love you, Traci thank you very much!!! I am sorry to report that I ended up in the ER ( again) this week~severe abdominal pain, so there I was with CT scans, Xrays,blood-draws, and hooked up to an IV full of painkillers. Of course I instantly went to the dark place, but nothing definitive showed up. That is the good news~ the bad news is why the pain is not diagnosed and without meds was at a level 9 out of 10.

    So thank all of you who are walking and running and moving!!! Awesome and keep on!!!!! You give me courage and strength!

    Hugs,
    Chen♥

    After reading your posts, I
    After reading your posts, I think it's OK to say that I walked 15 miles for you and Susan, Chen. Both of you are near and dear to my heart and if steps could kill those dam cancer cells, I would walk thousands and millions more. xoxoxoxo Lynn

    I am so humbled and honored
    I am so humbled and honored to have my name attached to any of the steps taken and energy given~ and I know that all of the Kindred Spirits feel the same way. I am part of a large family of empathetic, connected women who show strength and courage beyond the scope of imagination. It is so wonderful to be part of "paying it forward"~ many of you know that it has always been part of my Relay and 5K experience to chant your names as I do the laps. And lest I forget anyone's name, or new ones join, I also do a few laps simply saying CSN, CSN. It has always kept me focused and reminded me of why I walk. I can see that you all feel the same way....and I love you for that. xoxoxox

    I added another 4 miles this
    I added another 4 miles this week. As I walked I borrowed from Chen and simply thought 'kindred spirits' over and over. I wanted to be sure to include the newbies, those who are NED for years, and especially those fighting mets. You all inspire me...


    Team total:313.59 (if I add right)
