Only recently finished chemo and rads (still having herceptin), and got some further surgery but running the London marathon on 17th April.
Found out that I got a place to run for Macmillan at the end of last week and have managed to grind out my longest run of 6 (slow) miles so far (so only 20 to go!). Eek!!
8 miles planned for my 'long' run this week and feeling good. On a superficial level, really hoping my hair will be long enough by the marathon to feel comfortable running without a hat. But, more importantly, running gives you a lot of thinking time and I keep visualising running the last part of the marathon along Embankment. That makes me feel a bit emotional / tearful (fears about the cancer returning and thinking of others affected by cancer), which makes it difficult to breathe and still run - gotta get that under control or I'll never finish!
