I think I am done with this blog . . .

So, the good news is that I am done with writing about my cancer treatment because I am done for good with the disease as it applied to my nut . . .

It is 4 years past diagnosis, so I am almost in the clear according to the docs . . .

A little Multimedia progression:

1.  I got done with Chemo and lost a bunch of hair 

and was anemic . . .

2.  Started working out a lot more

3.  Lost a bunch of weight after gaining it back after chemo (this was good)

4.  Did the Triple Bypass (3 mountain passes and 

120 miles of biking in a day)  you can see me right after finishing with Sarah and both of us wearing blue shirts.

5.  Did a 1/2 Ironman as my First Triathlon!  ha!  Take that Chemo!

6.  Finished the 1/2 Ironman in a respectable time and didn't walk at all on the run!  

You can see my slow running after swimming 1.2 miles in the lake and riding my bike 56 miles.  I believe I was about 1/2 way done with the run on 

this video shot.

You may ask-- what next?

Well, lots more!  Life goes on and I had some ups and downs like lots of other folks.   broke my collarbone, had more surgery, changed jobs, watched my kids grow, competed in a bunch more triathlons, and and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!  Life is something that should be appreciated for all of its interesting turns.

This year, I will be doing many more triathlons, and I am finding that I enjoy the preparation as much as the events.  My newest physical challenge is going to be on my 40th birthday  -- goodness the years do fly by . . .  I thought I was still somewhere in my early twenties!

I am excited to be in good enough physical health to be attempting a 40 mile contiguous run on my birthday.   Wish me luck!
