It's a new dawn...

So a quick catch up from the previous post... I'm so behind ;)

Surgery was a complete success - clean margins, tumor completely removed and no need for post surgery radiation. I'm told I'll make a full recovery.

The scar is massive (at least to me) but is well hidden by my hair and so far no one seems to notice any real difference unless I point it out and say "hey check out my huge scar!"

Life is returning back to normal - Ran my first post surgery race on Feb 26th, and already have 4 more upcoming races on the books, including the upcoming Culinaria 5K! - How perfect is that? Food and Running all in one?  I'd like to work back up to a half marathon by the summer - we will see how that goes.

I've decided to work on making the most of this year and celebrating the amazing life I have been blessed with. Next week I'm starting up my travels again with a trip to Arizona, followed by a conference trip to New Orleans - then Baltimore in April, San Diego in there somewhere too - Possibly Costa Rica in July and most importantly a Euro vacation in Germany, Italy and France for the holidays this year. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself!!!
