A Day with the Oncologist

I received wonderful news today. My CT scan was clear, my blood work was perfect and my exams checked out just fine. What a great way to start the year! So the bad news was that my oncologist isn't available to run the NYC Marathon for this year so we're going to run the 2011 race. It gives me plenty of time to practice and keep up with him, since he's a seasoned marathon runner. I had my work cut out for me so in a way I'm relieved but also a tad bit disappointed because once I have a goal in mind I go for it. Now I'll have mini races in between to get myself in the best shape of my life. I registered for the River Run and we'll run that race together. It will be the motivation I need to get through 9 miles and if I feel faint, I have my doctor right beside me! It's the best of both worlds!
