Being Bald

You know me (or maybe you don't?) - can't just run a marathon - have to shave my head too:

The funds I raise are in the name of a truly amazing little boy who I never met but whose words have touched me since I heard them. As he was fighting cancer he encouraged others to "keep going" and to "never give up". It was his motto and it was his bravery that has inspired me.

You can see an amazing slideshow about Spencer Dolling and his battle with cancer here:

I'm looking at shaving my head as a freedom from the identification with physical self, as a celebration of life and as a way of supporting those who are fighting cancer right now.

I think I'll look pretty funny and I'm also looking forward to the laughter that will come with that.

The sun just started to make my corner of the world warm today and I have a bike and swim on the books. Sunday is a 5k run (race?) and I'll probably follow that off with about 2 hours of just easy running with my friend Laurel.

Happy training everyone. Look around you and say thanks :)
