I am worthy. I am strong. I am full of grit.
Today, I believe my goal of 32 miles is attainable. I am proud of myself for running a half marathon. Today, I know I am worthy. I am strong. I am full of grit.
I will wear my colors and scars proudly.
Today I will celebrate what I have become. Emerging stronger from the cloud of cancer, I have pushed myself to be better than before. Today I will wear my colors and scars proudly as a testament of what was and have now become.
Together, finding our stride after diagnosis.
Today I am proud of signing up for a race with fellow survivors. I am glad I am enjoying the training and finding comfort in exercise. Today I am one step closer to reaching my goals.

“Maybe if I hadn’t had all those boring-ass moments in waiting rooms contemplating my mortality I’d still have ventured out a little, but somehow that time with the possibility of death feeling much more real and close makes me tilt. It tilts me when life asks me, again and again: would you rather sit, or go see some of this mad, fantastic world, and see how far this body can take you? It tilts me toward yes many more times than no.” ~Yiling Wong
I like the person I am after I run.
Today is a new day. I will do the things that feed my soul. I will not wait for the perfect time to start something new. I will take advantage of every moment of today.
I need to be patient and continue to work hard.
Today I need to remember big improvements won’t happen overnight. I just need to be patient. Working on consistency is more important than speed. Today I will trust the process and get stronger every day.

Meet Matt, my husband. With any strong marriage there have been ups and downs but he has always been there, by my side. I asked him to write a piece for Friends of 32-Miles. I asked him to share what it was like to be a caregiver to a cancer survivor- how exercise helped pull us through the hard times.
There is guilt from taking time for yourself.
Today I will not feel guilty or selfish for taking time to better myself. Today and always I will love my girl and continue to be the best mom I know how to be.
