Over the holiday period I think I have managed to convince myself that life will be back to normal and we may be able to scrub 2012 and pick up where we left off. I spent a few days last week volunteering at running events. And while in no way was I ever tempted to run for 12 hours through the night, I could not help but admire the fortitude of those who did and succeeded in smiling all they way to the finish of the Narrabeen Allnighter. I was the volunteer photographer and below are two of my favourite images from the race.

And then reality returned on Monday when I had to return to hospital for an antibody top-up so I can go for another month. I was surprised by the wave of tears that overwhelmed when the cannula was inserted into my arm. Not sure why, except that maybe in the back of my mind I was hoping for a miracle in 2013 and now it has struck me that magic does not happen when the clock strikes midnight for a New Year. Just have to adjust to a new normal and be patient.
