I apologize for the gap in posting. I finished my half marathon almost a month ago and haven't done a whole lot of running since. No, I am not being a slacker. I've been recuperating from surgeries.

| Crossing the finish line |
Back in July I started to have wrist pain. When I went to the doctor a couple weeks later, he said it was probably a cyst and sometimes they go away on their own. So I waited for a few months hoping it would get better. It didn't. It just got bigger. Finally, the week after my race, I went in for surgery and had it removed. While it is still sore 3&1/2 weeks later, it sure feels a lot better than it did.

Along with the wrist pain, I also found a lump in my breast. I had an ultrasound and a mammogram (which are not fun, for those of you who have yet to experience that delight) and they told me it was probably a fibroadenoma. Fibroadenomas are almost always benign, but it has been the "almost" part that gives me the heebee-geebee's. After a few weeks of me worrying about a biopsy and not really wanting to be poked in such a sensitive area, the doctor's office called me and I broke down and scheduled it. The biopsy was this week. I won't find out the results until tomorrow.
Surgery takes a lot out of me! I got super super sick after the wrist surgery, and have had less energy and desire to do anything than usual. But, I am finally starting to feel like myself again! Yay! I even started sewing again today; something that I haven't done in about 5 or 6 months.

| Posing after the color run |
A few weeks ago, I did get up the courage to do a short 5k. Mom and I walked the "Color Run" in Boise and had a blast! I love hanging out with my mom. :)
(And yes, I realize that the pictures don't match, but I forgot to get them posted before!)
