I am pleased to announce that the 2014 season of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge has begun. I am thrilled to be back running for such an amazing organization. This year will be very special to all of us in many ways. I look forward to being able to finish my journey I began last season with my thoughts and prayers going out to those affected by April's tragic events and those who have battled or are currently battling cancer.
For those who haven't checked out my blog before, the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge raises money to support innovative cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Every penny of your donation goes directly to the cause- how awesome is that!? Last season, our marathon team raised 4.74 million dollars to directly fund research at DFCI. We couldn't have done this without the help of all of you, our wonderful supporters! Thank you!

Onto personal updates...
I am recovering well from my surgery- it is hard to believe nearly a month has passed by already! I attempted to go for my first run yesterday of about 2 miles. It was a slow going and I had some soreness afterwards, but I know I will get back into my training one step at a time.
Last weekend was the Maine Marathon that I had been training to run, but due to surgery was unable to. However, Onyx and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend in York checking out the beach and some views from the Mount Agamenticus summit.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you as I make my way to the Boston Marathon on April 21, 2014! Please consider making a donation to support this wonderful cause- every donation truly does make a difference!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! :)
