Ok so I ran the half marathon last January and finished two minutes over my goal. Not too bad if I may say so myself! I continued running a bit here and there. I signed up for Katyfit again this year and even convinced my friend Sherry to join. Sherry had done a great job this year losing weight and training hard. I am so proud of her. She is going to smoke me on race day! I have had a harder time staying focused and dedicated. I guess since I know my body can do it, I am less opt to push myself. Never the less, I am up and hitting the trails most Saturday mornings. As I write this, I haven't run in two weeks but plan on making it there this weekend, ugh! However, a wrench has been thrown in my plans and now my focus is being turned to a different race.
Three weeks ago, Colin climbed into bed with us because his leg was hurting. I must make the note that he never gets in our bed (we have a couch in our room). He forced me to the edge of the bed because his feet were in my ribs. Due to the position I was laying in I hand my hands under my breasts and felt a lump. Fast forward three weeks later, a mammogram, an ultrasound and a phone call from the doctor, I am facing the possibility of having breast cancer. I have a small mass in my right breast and two suspicious lymph nodes. I am currently awaiting the radiologist to read my reports so that he can order a biopsy to confirm or deny the diagnosis. It is definitely a lesson in patience. We have made the decision (and I say we because it is literally a team decision, family, friends, doctors, nurses, etc) to go from the local Katy hospital for the biopsy to the breast center at Memorial City. This way all of my doctors have access to my records and I am seen at a place that looks at breasts all day long. That is all they do. So where are we now, you may ask? We are in a holding pattern. It is a roller coaster my friends. One day it is good news, one day it is bad news. I am at peace with any news, I just want news. Besides, I do look good in pink!
