Anyone that knows me probably knows how I feel about exercise – I opt out. When asked if I run, I answer with “only when chased.” I enjoy the idea of exercise but I just can’t seem to make it move from an idea to reality. Just like Mom having breast cancer sent my life in a different direction, I am finding myself making decisions I would not have made before her diagnosis. I seem to have gone crazy – gone crazy for the cure.
I have just signed up for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure. What is this 3 day event you ask? I have agreed to walk 60 miles over the course of three days, camping at night with thousands of other women and men who are equally crazy to take on this challenge. Crazy? Oh yes. Will this endeavor be filled with one million crazy hurdles to get through? Without a doubt. But rather than fear or anxiety, I am beginning this journey with excitement still knowing I cannot do this alone. I need support – a network of people giving me encouragement and motivation. Without this support, this journey will not be possible. So here I begin this journey, with support from those who have been by my side for years and other pillars of strength whom I have yet to met, still waiting somewhere down the road.
