Keep up the Fight

As I look ahead I see a long week of training in front of me.  4 miles on Monday 8 miles on Tuesday, 4 miles on Wednesday, 8 miles on Thursday, and 17 miles on Saturday. Training for a marathon is definitly a time commitment, but it is actually a good release for built up energy and aggression. Not only that, if I want to finish and be satisified with myself the miles are absolutely necessary.  I also think about all the cancer patients that can't just take a day off from cancer.  If I were to take a day off just because I don't feel like it I would be defeating the whole purpose of my message.  Together we can help make huge advances in treatments, cures, care giving, etc.  The list of ways to help is endless it just takes a little time to find out what you can do.  I would like to thank all of you who have followed along thus far for taking the time to read and help spread awareness.  Every little bit really does help. 

As a parent that has lost a child there is one comment that you hear very often.  That comment is "I can't imagine how terrible it would be to watch your child pass away".  Might I add in our case it happened on the living room sofa that we sit on every day.  It is an absolutely indescribable pain that teaches you to either press on or let the sorrow consume your life.  For the most part the days are good, but there are days that fighting off the urge bust someone upside the head is extremely difficult.  For those of you in similar shoes take this time to pat yourself on the back.  You have been down a long road and you know how to fight and endure pain just as well as those great fighters that have battled cancer.
