Moving forward
November 7, 2009
It has been almost a month since my last post here and many thing have happened. It has been difficult for me to add to this blog after completing the marathon. I had completed my journey, what is left to do is close this chapter.
As an update, I back to running and unfortunately have upped my miles too soon. I was doing an experiment. I was trying to simulate running the NYC marathon, three weeks after the Chicago. The experiment back-fired and I injured my left knee this time. The same ITB problem I had on my right knee is now on my left knee. Oh, well back to the drawing board. Good thing I am not racing anything soon.
On the cancer front, I caught up with all my blood test. I had to postpone all my tests due to the marathon. My last blood test showed my tumor count is high again. Hopefully, it is nothing; however two consecutive blood tests showed an upward trend. I have a scheduled PET scan on Tuesday, which will tell if any cancer tumors are back. I have to get this done because it has been a year since my last chemo, and again I postponed it due the marathon.
About this blog. I struggle to find closure. I had a wonderful journey to the finish line. It was more than I expected. I feel complete but I could not felt I could not out do myself with this blog. Instead I created another blog and called it Waddling Tales: Stories of a slow runner. I wanted to preserve all my memories of my first marathon. Funny, I most often find myself reading my post again and would re-live the memory. I am not going away. I will always be here as much as you were there for me.
Cheers.
PS: Stop by and see my other blog.

That will teach you not to experiment;-)
Will be thinking of you on Tuesday - hope all is well.
