A Runner in his early 30's seeing how good he can be.
Last Tuesday, I learned that my mom was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. The past week has been filled with a lot of coping, research, and spending time with my mom. Running has obviously taken a backseat. I'm not sure when I will get back to regular blogging, but right now, it doesn't seem appropriate.

May the love of friends and family be a source of comfort to you at this time and your running as a passage to support your thoughts. My prayers are with you.

Sorry to hear that Greg. You and your family are in our prayers as well.
You and your family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry to hear about your mom's cancer. I know I am just a vet cardiologist, but if there is anything professionally I can do for you, please don;t hesitate to let me know.
Greg,
You can count on many prayers for your mother. Keeping the belief that she can beat it is crucial. I look forward to hearing that she has conquered this mountain. My best to your mom and your family.

Greg. Sorry about the news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and you mother.
I, too, will keep your mom and the rest of your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Keep the faith, G.

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. My prayers are with you and your family
You are definitely in our thoughts. Both of our mothers went through this process with breast cancer, and they both came out just fine. If you want to talk with either of us about any of this, we're available to you anytime.
Peace, and healing.
Oh, no! I'm sending all the karma I can to you and yours. Stay close to your Mom, be there for her and let your love be the best medicine.
Sorry to hear this news. All the best to you and your family.

Greg, I am so sorry to read this news. Nothing but the best of thoughts for you and all your family.
I'm afraid that I understand too well the strange range of emotions you are experiencing. Let me know if there any thing at all I can do for you and all your family.
Greg, I'm so sorry to hear this news. Sending my karma and prayers your way.

Greg-
Your mom, you, and your family will definitely be in my prayers.
Take care and keep your chin up!!! Positive attitude and positive beliefs take you a long way!!
Stay strong Greg. I'm terribly sorry to hear this news, and our family's thoughts are with you.
Stay strong for your Mom, Greg as she needs you now as much as your family does. Running and blogging will continue to be a great release for you and you can dedicate that training to her as well as to yourself. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
