Thank you again for all the kind comments and emails. I appreciate them all and I’m sorry that I have not been able to respond personally to each of you. I’m amazed (and saddened) by how many of our lives have been affected by cancer. A close friend left this comment for me on Facebook:
“In time, you’ll enjoy life again. Give yourself five or six years. Until then, you’ll have to fake it.”
It made me laugh because it is so true. If you have ever experienced the death of a close family member, you can probably also relate to this statement. (thanks Bob!)

Looking ahead, I’m lining up all the fantastic guest posts that you have sent me. THANK YOU so much for all of your help and generosity. If you have a post you would like to share with Workout Mommy readers, please let me know.
Now tell me, have you been active today? I’m lacing up my shoes, slapping on a fake smile, and heading out for a run. Get up and get moving gang!

I’ll be here for ya, fake smile and all…or don’t fake it and know that I’ll still be here with a shoulder to cry on. That’s what friends are for!

Hang in there through this tough time. Just know that you don’t always have to smile…it is o.k. to honor your feelings and cry if you need to as well.
During my cancer treatment people would tell me I was so strong. I would respond with my mantra “Fake it til you make it!!”
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your site (I’ve been a Google Reader subscriber for a few months now.) I am so sorry to hear about your mom — you are so strong and inspirational to so many you don’t even know.
Hang in there!

It’s an inspiration to us all that you are still staying active and positive. It’s so important to take care of yourself during this difficult time.
Our sympathy to you and your family.
Moms out there!!! I found a great new website where you can get free stuff.and great new for toys and stuff for your kids… this website is great because not only do you get free prizes, you dont even have to PAY for shipping& handling. All you have to do is use it as you would for like GOOGLE.com, it’s a search engine site…just giving you guys a heads up MAYBE YOU CAN GET exercise DVD’S!!!!

Again, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Fortunately, it sounds like you have lots of encouraging, honest people in your life and that’s awesome!
It’s been 5 1/2 weeks since I’ve had my baby now and I’d like to start running again…hopefully before the weather heats up too much. Thanks for the reminder to get active!
