They will find I am strong

I promise I was at three weeks of trail running yesterday.  But man, did that dirt hill whoop me!  I was gasping for air and yet determined to keep going no matter what.

It isn't even close to the hardest thing I did all day.  A few hours earlier, I had an ultrasound to address some of the pain I had been experiencing.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know something is amiss when there are a number of measurements being taken, and a black "anomaly" appears on screen. 

It's a small fibrous tumor.  It's completely operable, and so I am not worried whatsoever.  Faith in God means that this too will pass and my faith is unshaken.  Follow-ups are scheduled, and they will find in addition to the tumor, I am strong.

On a positive note, the scale showed a one pound drop in weight from my last appointment.  It is a tiny win, but I will take it!  I have worked off many calories to fight for that drop.

My long run on Saturday was over ten miles (including the walk earlier).  I hope next week to have the time go under two hours for the eleven miles I have scheduled.  Not sure I will hit the mark, but I am going to give it everything.

The unicorn hippity hop ball arrived.  I love it so much.  My toddler neighbors think it is the best thing on planet Earth.  If you have never heard a child laugh while riding a unicorn, your life isn't complete yet.

So, keep going with your personal goals!  Medical issues aren't going to stop or slow me down, and they shouldn't to you either.  Run, swim, bike, jog, walk, do karate, or hop, but do something at least one hour six days a week.  Don't strive for a "perfect" body size, shoot for a healthy body with a normal weight.

Have a great rest of your week!
