additional goals for 2011

Insomnia is hitting again, so i have a couple of thoughts for the day.  Some additional goals for 2011.  Some thoughts on what we are doing on Saturday... things like that.

The main thing is going with a theme that my good friend Graceful Lady has posted is :"living like you were dying". (aka, a great tim mcgraw song) I think this year has truly been like I was dying, Literally.  Although thyroid cancer is something that is easily treated, its still the word "cancer" that is freaky.  I tried to live every moment to its best.  The killer was that 6 months later, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  The love I feel from everyone is really overwhelming.  I haven't moved this well in almost 2 years. Learning to take things one step at a time is so hard, but you know sometimes a song just hits the right notes.

Additional goals, gotta save bits and pieces of money to be able to afford this, but will do the Tufts 10K in Boston withGraceful Lady in October (in addition to Chicago) and then Bermuda in January 2012... again with Graceful Lady. if this doesn't tell you how good i am feeling, then I don't know what to say.

 I am so looking forward to the training session with TNT and seeing my peeps.  I have missed them so much.   Getting involved with TNT and TeamVie and MSRuns is so great, even to do a little at a time, its just been so long. 

The company that makes my Avonex, send over a really good diet guideline.  They offered a really good shopping list, too.  Mostly a vegetarian based diet, low on dairy and things like that, but pretty much up my alley.  Sounds like what I have been doing recently.  Whole grain pasta is on the list.. lots of cheese is limited.  but i can live with that.  i do know that high fat stuff doesn't make me fell good, or move great. kinda of the way alcohol makes me feel.
