Boy do I miss running...

I felt better this week than I have for months. Spent three days on the road working! I get tired easily which frustrates me. A few months ago I could run a marathon. Now I struggle to get through a day. Oh well, I guess that comes with the disease. It's like being in training for a race. A race I intend to win!

My next M.D. Anderson expedition is Tuesday, February 24. That’s when we get the final prognosis and treatment plan. I know they want to do more surgery and if that has to be then we’ll do it. However, I am not giving up organs without a fight! I want to be absolutely convinced that is my only alternative. I know God has been working in me, healing me. If it’s His will that surgeons do the rest, okay. But I need to be convinced.

Speaking of running, I found a few of my favorite pictures. I so miss being healthy and able to run…BUT I WILL RUN AGAIN!
