Meg's Half Marathon

Who says a half marathon is easier than a full marathon?

I remember finishing my first marathon thinking if someone told me to run farther or faster, I totally could have.  Everything felt great and I crossed the finish line with a big smile on my face. That night we planned our next marathon. I was in favor of Hawaii, but I think we settled on NYC.  Never, in any of my craziest nightmares would I have imagined that 2 months later, I would be hospitalized with a brain tumor.  I even remember exclaiming to my doctor the first time I met him, “Yes, I exercise! I just ran a  f***ing marathon!”.  It was with total disbelief and a sense of betrayal, that I acknowledged that this same body, that felt so strong and healthy just 2 months before had been hiding this thing.  

Of course it is hard…
