Welcome!

Greeting, and welcome to the first post in Running With Cancer.

Runners know that long road miles have a way of making your mind wander.  It's truly bizarre the things you think of to keep your mind occupied after two or three hours, just you and the road.  For a runner who has survived two bouts with cancer and is fighting round three, the thoughts can be even more sobering -- or liberating.  This blog is simply a catalog of those thoughts.  They may cover everything from how chemotherapy feels to the experiences of a first-time father.  Again, welcome to the blog -- I'm glad you've decided to run alongside me, for one mile or for 20.
