Who in their right mind does a half-marathon?

So far I've logged over 100 miles in June and I'm tired!  While doing our first 8-mile walk Brenda said "We're awesome" and maybe I'm a little full of myself but my reply was "I know I'm awesome".  After 20 rounds of just plain nasty chemo, months of daily painful shots to keep the cell count up, 4 surgeries and believe me having a mastectomy is not a cake walk, a few months of neuropathy and aches so bad I didn't want to get out of bed and finally 28 rounds of radiation, I know I'm awesome and I know that I am so blessed to be able to wake up every morning and train for a half-marathon!!!

So yes I'm tired, I ache every day, it hurts to walk, it hurts after the walk but I am going to prove a point that cancer is NOT going to get the best of me.  It is going to bring out the best in me. 

So Parkersburg Half Marathon on August 20th watch out...cause Brenda, Angela and Lori are out to prove a point.

Update...The Apple Cider Vinegar after 2-days has been amazing.  The pressure is gone and the gunk is moving on.
