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

Not feeling so good...

I think the shots may be kicking in!  I felt very nauseated tonight when I was running and have had a killer headache and body aches tonight!  Yikes.  I'm also having a local reaction to one of the 5 immunizations...I have red, hot, welts on my left deltoid.  I hope it's all just from the shots.  I ended up getting another shot yesterday too my tetanus diptheria and pertussis booster!  I sure hope the surgeon takes out my stomach, otherwise, this will all be done in vain!

I was going to take the kids in to the Fort Wayne Zoo tomorrow, but I think it would be wiser to stay close to home and rest up.  I'm on High Alert! I ran the 4 miles tonight nice and easy.  My first mile was a little fast--8:00, then I ended up averaging 8:45 for the entire 4.

I hope no one else out there gets sick before the marathon!
