Cancer patients face their worst fear when they get told the three words by their doctor “you have cancer”.

During my marathon training journey I will post three themes of Motivation Monday, Weight Wednesday, and Fit Friday on the days I go to the gym and provide facts or motivation for cancer patients so we as a Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team can be positive and move toward finding a cure to this awful disease.

Today’s motivation is from Audrey Hepburn. “Nothing is impossible the word itself says: I’m possible”. Cancer patients try to see the bright side to their results from their doctor and always try to stay positive whatever the outcome. Today like a cancer patient, I did just this. I pushed myself to the limit on the rower for a half an hour then went on the standardized bike for an hour. Even though, I’m injured with a small foot fracture I am staying positive knowing that I’ll be back to running in less than two weeks. Today, I pushed my body and did all of the cardio I could do in the hour and a half time I had and even though I’m sore I knew it was possible!  Just staying positive is the ingredient one needs to accomplish the recipe for a good outcome.
