Peace of mind

Just got back from seeing the Good Doc.  Got the results of my last screening and the tumor did NOT grow.  I am happy.  Every time I go for the results I secretly hope he will say: "It is gone!" but I will take it is not growing.  We do this again in August, until then I have peace of mind as far as that goes.  It is not easy to know that I have a tumor on my kidney and I don't know if it is the bad kind..you know the kind that start with a C.  They cannot do a biopsy on these kind of tumor, too risky.  OK enough of the depressing stuff.

To CELEBRATE good news my friends have a drink or buy expensive shoes or go to a spa, me I signed up for not one but TWO HALF MARATHONS!

First one May 1, 2011 and second one September 4th, 2011.   Also today my new shoes arrived, one day free delivery! I like that! I cannot wait to try them tomorrow.

Today I ran 3 miles temp0-kind of...I am not sure if I am doing this tempo thing right.  I was at the gym, so I had to distract myself with the people at the gym...today we had 2 guys working out with their winter coats on (I live in Southern California, it is NOT cold here) and winter hats.  I don't get it.  Also one gal wearing FLIP FLOPS on the treadmill...trying to run at speed 3.0 ...really? That should not even be allowed!  I wish I could take pictures of all these weirdos for you but I am way too shy!!!

Two half marathons! Woohoo! You definitely caught the bug!

I lived in South Texas for 3 years. I don't think it ever got cold enough to even wear a sweater....I was shocked at how many people wore hats and winter coats in 55 degree weather!!!!

Not growing is good news! Little victories!

Flip flops are the new barefoot? I don't think so. Overall, good news though.
