Abso-FREAKING-lutely AMAZING

 Miles to Date: 63

This week was a busy one with lots of miles!  I added another 19 miles to the total this week.  Our running group ran on Thursday, the day of Jen's 2nd chemo treatment so we wore purple on our run for her.  Kathleen had bought shirts for some of us a few months ago that are convienently purple and pink and say "Abso-freaking-luetly Amazing" (Thanks Nike), and since we all think Jen is pretty amazing we wore them for her.  Poor Leah doesn't have one yet - but she represented really well in an all purple Nike outfit.

This week was a big one for Jen too, in addition to her second round of chemo, she started to lose her hair.  She wrote a pretty funny blog about it but I still think it was pretty scary.  On Wednesday she told me she didn't think she was strong enough to shave it off and be done with it which is totally understandable.  By Friday (with a little inspiration from Charlize Theron) she decided she could do it.  Even though she told me I was crazy I hopped in the car and made the 2 hour drive to be there and help her shave it.  Lucky for her, that melon of hers is pretty cute and not lumpy or weirdly shaped at all!  Now I need to go find her some fabulous earrings to rock.  She continues to amaze me with her incredible strength and bravery, and I love her so much!  I am so proud of her for going through this with the grace that she is.  I also was lucky enough to finally get to meet the cute little guy that we're pretty sure saved her life (talk about a get out of trouble card there - that little kid is set for life now!)

For now time to keep on running - Jen also mentioned that she thinks on the days she feels up to it she's gonna start running and is going to run as much of that half marathon we signed up for as she can!  I think it will be the best race of my life!
