At least that's one piece of good news. It's not that something drastic has changed in my condition, but it's been awhile since I posted so I thought this might be an appropriate time to post at least one piece of good news. No offense Denver fans.
Like I said, not much has really changed for me. I still feel fine, but my performance on the bike is not as good as I would hope. Maybe it has to do with the weather? It's been very cold here lately, making training more difficult due to the extra clothing I need to keep warm. The cold weather coupled with the accident that kept me off the bike for awhile, I hope is the real reason I seem to be getting into such bad shape. Plus I am getting older. Maybe just the fact that I'm 57+ is another reason I can't keep up with the 30 year olds.
I 've also started running on the treadmill at home. Running is great exercise, (you can get an equal or greater aerobic work out in a shorter time), but as with everything, there are trade offs. Running is brutal on the body, and it can depress the hemaglobin levels somewhat, which can be another factor attributing to my worn out feeling.
I prefer to think it's old age! Yeah, that's the ticket!
Well the weather has finally warmed up today. The temperature this morning was 58°F which is about 20°F warmer then it has been over the weekend. Hopefully the weather will stay nice for awhile, and I can get some good training miles in. In the mean time I'll stick to the Computrainer at work.
I guess I've vented enough for one day. I've got a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, and as usual I'll have my blood checked. I'm also going to have to pick a new oncologist, since my current one is moving to Corpus Christi [TX] in the next month or two. I've pretty much decided on Dr. Chen. I've been told he is more in to research, and I think that will be of benefit in the long run.
GO STEELERS!!
