Normality and fitness

Normal is a strange word.
What's normal for me is most certainly not normal for you and the other way around.

When I found a lump in breast a year and 4 days ago I was living a "normal" life. I went to work every day. I went running every day. I was way into healthy living, nutrition, sports. M. and I went on bike tours every weekend. M. and I cooked every night....Life was normal.

Then the cancer came. Chemo, surgery, pain, nausea, dizziness, fear, exhaustion, sadness...all that became normal.

Now, we are done with treatments, life is "normal", I have started running again, do yoga all the time, eat healthy, but I have a very different perspective than I did 12 months ago, what was normal then is not normal today and what is normal today would have NEVER been normal then.

I could ramble on forever, what I am trying to say is that I am a changed person...whatever that means.

  1. So how I didn't know you had a blog I don't know but anyway I've caught up and I know you know this but I just wanted to say that I totally love you and I'm glad you're [still] in my life. I need to come visit across the pond one of these days.
