5 weeks ago, I had a double mastectomy. Today, I ran 5k. I’m not sure this smile captures the sheer joy I feel moving, or the first time I’ve felt like myself inside this body in five weeks.
Today I had no distance or time goals, no expectations, and no idea what I could do, if anything. Today I felt the sun, took deep breaths, and ran. Today, I feel like I can crush cancer.
