Race for the Cure

One of our dearest compadres pulled together a team to run the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure this morning in my honor.

I'm pretty sure he was still hammered this morning when he picked out his 5K running gear. Maybe confused it was a work day? Maybe just the only pink item he could find? Love you Rob...

I appreciate everyone so much for doing this for me, but I'm not going to lie, I chickened out. I just couldn't do it. I've done these races. I even knocked out the 60 mile 3 day walk before in honor of my mommy idol Marla Jo. They are intense. There's a lot of pink and a lot of emotions. I just couldn't muster it up to take on the crowd (and apparently, neither could half of my team because they were all hungover! haha!).

This would have been me with some runny nose crying involved.

 So, instead of joining the sea of pink, I did some yoga at home, headed over to Picnik and grabbed a Mocha Chocolatte with Chanel before heading to meet what was left of my crew to eat brunch. It was a perfect, relaxing morning with friends. Just what I needed. Plus an extra long forced hug and kiss on my girl Maaya who hates hugs.

Nothing more zen then having your obnoxious sister snapping pics of you during guided relaxation.

THANKS to my team!!! So thankful for you and proud to have you on our team.

Quick chemo update...still nothing too exciting to report :) I'm feeling great! Appetite good, very minor nausea and bone pain from the Neulasta shot. Still working out sleep issues bc of all of the crazy meds (p.s. have not taken as much as an ibuprofen in over 2 years, so these IV's and pounding of the pills has been a tough thing for me to swallow). Feeling lucky to have so many people supporting us through the adjustment as we find our new 'normal.'

Love
