It is with much relief and excitement that I can announce that my cancer has gone into remission. It’s resolved, it’s gone, I won. But the journey towards recovery has only just begun. Similar to announcing the end of a war, the longer road is ahead of us rather than behind.

The end of treatments is in sight. With that comes the nervousness about more bad news, as well as the excitement of the things to come afterwards. Either way I am preparing for the next chapter of my health journey.

Reaching the halfway point of a long process allows us to look back with gratitude and look forward with confidence. In running and in life, the halfway point is an important time to reflect and prepare for the endgame.
