Almost a year ago I walked into my dermatologist's office for a vanity visit and found out I had basal cell carcinoma. As an "olive skinned American" I thought I would never have to worry about THAT type of cancer, yet there I was, having the Moh's procedure. A 4 hour outpatient surgery that could have been prevented had I lathered up before hitting the sunny road. I realize I'm one of the very lucky ones but, I don't take my good fortune for granted and want to remind you to please, please, please put on your sunscreen before you head outside. Because I'm an 'all or nothing' type of girl, I use 100 spf on my face and arms when I run. I use somewhere between 30 and 75 on my legs. Don't take this step for granted. I know I did but today putting on sunscreen is as routine as lacing up.
Running Ninja! wishes you a wonderful Friday and fantastic weekend! Happy Mother's Day to all you "mommy" Running Ninjas! We love and appreciate YOU.
