The next steps...

So I've spent the past few days trying to figure out what exactly I'd like this blog to consist of and have come to the conclusion that it's mostly going to be a training log, but as the training goes on and more folks get involved, I'd like it also to be a place of inspiration, and although it's going to be tough, my training is not likely to fit that bill...

I've noticed already that thoughts of folks who have fought their cancer battle, are fighting it now, or have left us have been starting to come around as I run. I've always used my rowing and running as a sort of moving meditation and I think it's these moments that I was hoping to find when I signed up for the DFMC. Too often they get lost in the day to day craziness, no time to sit back with them, with my grief, with my love. With each mile I find a bit of peace, a bit of them, a smile, a few tears.

I hope to try and jot these moments down as they come back to me, but I also hope to have friends and family send me their own too. Long or short, about them or about their fight against this disease, they will be my inspiration and will keep me taking one step after another towards this goal.

Thank you.
