Bill,
Don't be so hard on yourself! You're doing great! If it makes you feel any better, I get winded just jogging out to the mailbox. I spend 45 minutes on the treadmill and only go 3.1 miles! There, now, don't you feel better?

I loved the Oscars -- start to finish - thought they were very professional with NO political agenda (finally!). I thought THE HURT LOCKER was well deserving of the win. We all need to be better informed of what our servicemen are doing to protect our country. Bill - I am so sorry to have to say this, but your last 3 blog messages are so negative. I'm wondering if you are still stopping to smell the roses ....being as you were close to death -- I would think that would alter you somewhat. The blog on your trip w/your family to the Olympics was very sad to me (your traffic ticket and what you said the the police officer) I'm a 12 year cancer survivor and I feel sorry that you sound so unhappy ~ you need to be grateful for your beautiful blessings! Arrow prayers will continue for you. Stay healthy friend!

Bill,

Nah, you're not an egomaniac. Egomaniacs are concerned with themselves and not with society. Seems to me your concerned about helping out society the best way you know how. First, reporting honestly. Second, connecting people to one another -- both the famous and the not so famous. So, you're enjoying yourself along the way. Yay! We all aspire to that! Take care and thanks for the updates!

I will be right behind you...I was diagnosed with CNS Lymphoma on July 7, 2009 and have watched you through all this. I have never been an athletic person but my son has run with team in training for three years. I will walk, not run, 13+ miles not 26.2. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story with all of us. Thanks

Bill,

Just read your blog for the first time today when it was suggested as inspiration for the next Mission Moment for our next newsletter (TNT Alaska). wanted to share with you something I read a few months ago, Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" It's a flat out hysterical read but what had me on the couch sobbing was his descriptions after the first few months on the trail of trying to get back, to recapture the experience, to finish what he'd begun. Only to realize once you've been so changed you can't ever truly go back, you just learn to embrace the changes and move forward.

I've no doubt you will slowly find your way as a survivor just as I will survive and build a new life once my husband dies (though the doctors have quit putting time lines on him lol). We all like to think that cancer is just a bump in the road, or a short side path that winds us right back to where we were before some doctor said "it's cancer." But it's not. With every treatment, every call to 911, every scary night in a hospital, we are changed. What we do with it is up to us though.

I am so glad you are taking those changes and facing the marathon course. You and each of the thousands of other across this country mean the world to my husband and I because what you will be doing as you face yourself, your fears, the pain, is carrying our hearts and giving us the peaceful knowledge that the next person to follow our path will have an easier journey and that just maybe on a day not too far in the future someone will be able to tack up a "Trail Closed" sign because the footsteps your journey inspired brought forth a cure.

An old Chinese proverb I adore says "Be not afraid of going slowly, be only afraid of standing still." Excellent advice for all of us.
