I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer May 24, 2011. I had my surgery June 23, 2011. On June 30, 2011 my pathology reports returned as negative. Everyone is happy for me and congratulating the success. But, I am not there yet. The shock I have been through has not let me be happy yet. This blog is mainly for me to get my feelings out but, also to let people know how my life changed in a matter of weeks. Having cancer may be in my past but it's not over for me, yet...

Cancer to 5K
So, I knew of the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults just by hearing about it and due to their connection with the Livestrong foundation. After having cancer, I went to their website and came across their training program. Since I withdrew from my running group with the Striders earlier this summer, I knew I wanted to get back into running. I signed up for the 12 week program offered by UCF and it starts next Tuesday. The final goal is a 5K in October...the Baltimore Running Festival. I am really excited to be a part of the training because it is only for people who had/have cancer. I think it will be really inspiring to be a part of this group. Not only for me to be thankful for where I am now but, to get to know others who are still fighting. I hope to really grow in many ways, from this upcoming experience.
