With the holidays approaching and 2018 in sight, time to start preparing for April 16 and the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston. After a month of cross-training, I went out for my first jog, ~3 miles. I felt good and it was nice to be out on a Sunday morning. I'll go back out for another short jog later today and slowly build up over the next few weeks in preparation for the real training to begin in January.
As we prepare for the holidays, I can't help but think of Heather, Don, and others, and their families, and the loss that will be felt this year. I also think of a friend & fellow DFMCer who's husband just finished cancer treatment and is in the clear. I think of RJ and the life ahead of him thanks to the successful treatment he received at Dana-Farber. Though there are numerous success stories, there's still much to do and I thank everyone who has donated thus far, helping raise $2700 for innovative cancer research at Dana-Farber.
