Day 1 of the July Calendar Challenge. The Calendar challenge is a simple concept, but brutal to execute. Running one mile in relation to the date. One mile on the 1st, two miles on the 2nd, then continuing this pattern until you run 31 miles on the 31st. Join if you want but please be smart about the heat. Hydrate, go out early or use a treadmill if you have one. You can run or walk. 

You all know I love challenges and it's Sarcoma awareness month which is the cancer I had. August I will be 22 years cancer free and I'm training for a 100 miler in September so this is a great way to get mileage in and celebrate being alive. 

You can follow along here or on my Strava, will post a link in my bio. I will also be posting sarcoma facts everyday in hope that more people will get diagnosed early so they too can survive. 

Today's Sarcoma fact:

Sarcoma is a rare cancer in adults (1% of all adult cancers), but rather prevalent in children (about 20% of all childhood cancers). It is made up of many “subtypes” because it can arise from a variety of tissue structures (nerves, muscles, joints, bone, fat, blood vessels – collectively referred to as the body’s “connective tissues”). Because these tissues are found everywhere on the body, Sarcomas can arise anywhere. Thus, within each site of the more “common” cancers there is the occasional surprise sarcoma diagnosis (e.g., breast sarcoma, stomach sarcoma, lung sarcoma, ovarian sarcoma, etc.). The most frequent location are the limbs since this is where the majority of the body’s connective tissue resides.
