I had gained too much weight and decided running was the way to lose it. I've since found most of the weight back, but still keep running. I started running in 1977 and estimate I have covered over 60,000 miles. I have completed over 17 marathons at least 20 half marathons and numerous shorter races. Now, I am mostly walking as I battle cancer.

Thanks. I have been here at the M D Anderson Cancer Center for almost a year. First with a cancer drug induced acute lymphoblastic leukemia and then for a stem cell transplant to battle some mutations that could lead to a different cancer. I should be home in late May since the SCT has been so successful.

60,000 miles is just awe-inspiring, Jim. We are with you in spirit in your battle against cancer, my friend ЁЯСК

Thanks. In February I underwent a stem cell transplant and hopefully, that will cure my cancer.
