View all Bank Of America Chicago Marathon training blogs

Overview

God has given me another year to run!  Last year I only was able to run the last half of Chicago since I was in the middle of chemotherapy.  I was honored to jump in and run with my friend Staci and we finished together--she qualified for Boston! 

My ONLY goal for Chicago is to complete the entire race this year.  I celebrated one year of survival on August 15th--I have stage 4 stomach cancer.  Every day God gives me I am grateful for!  I am a living miracle!

Please check out my blog that takes you through my last year's journey with stomach cancer!  www.beccascancer.blogspot.com

It's just around the corner!

Wow, my arms are sore this morning.  I think 4 immunizations was a bit much for me.  I sure hope I don't get the flu symptoms this weekend!  I definitely do not recommend doing something so crazy as getting your flu or pneumococcal vaccinations just a few days before a marathon!  I'm at the point that I must just go with the flow--I do what the docs say--for the most part

What a week!  Mother nature struck me yesterday too!  When it rains it pours.  The good news is the worse should be over by Sunday!  I was not looking forward to carrying a tampon in that pocket on the outside of my shorts. People would wonder if that crazy girl would actually have to use it during the run! (only in the privacy of a port o pot!)

I'm enjoying reading all the blogs on here.  I don't always post, but I appreciate reading the ups and downs of the training--and in the lives of each of you.  You are great therapy for me.  2 more training runs before Sunday!
