Find your grail

Last week my sister Sandra presented me with a marathon training CD (better late than never).

Here is the play list:

"Find your grail", Spamalot
"Good vibrations", Beach Boys
"Raspberry beret", Prince
"We didn't start the fire", Billy Joel
"One way or another", Blondie
"Sex and candy", Marcy Playground
"Where'd you go?", Might Might Bosstones
"Sweetest thing", U2
"Any dream will do", Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat
"All star", Smash Mouth
"Life is a Highway", Tom Cochrane
"Sunday Bloody Sunday", U2
"Manic Monday", The Bangles
"Come on Eileen", Dexy's Midnight Runners
"Take me out", Franz Ferdinand
"Always look on the bright side of life", Spamalot
"Sweet Caroline", Neil Diamond
"When you believe", Mariah Carey from Prince of Egypt
"Eye of the tiger", Survivor

My sister picked songs that fit me and my life perfectly. But my mother and sister had been talking about how my theme song was Find Your Grail. While I have seen Monty Python a number of times, I have not yet seen Spamalot. After listening to the song, I know it is the next musical I must see.

So what is my grail? My grail is running this marathon. My grail is my father and my grandmother. My grail is being able to do the impossible and being able to say I conquered my fears. My grail is all the people who have fought cancer, who are fighting cancer, and who will fight cancer in the future. My grail is running this marathon to fight cancer.
