Hi Monica, I'm also a regular runner & ran through chemo although it got very very slow & short towards the end. parkrun is awesome! You do need a goal to get back into & I can't think of a better one for you. I did the run Melb 10 last year as my first as I finished chemo in May 2016. It was hard but I did it & the finish was very emotional. I do recommend that you see a sport physiologist if you can as I found that my muscles & tendons needed work to get 'loose' & build back normal strength for running after chemo. You can get referred by your GP. I would love to join you in December, I'm in Altona. Cheers, Jane
