One of the things I say that helps when dealing with #cancer, #chemotherapy and the rest is having a healthy slight divergence with reality. .
For instance I took a short 14 hour nap prior to running π 4.5 miles the other day on the treadmill for #triathlontraining followed by a brief 4 hour off and on π΄(Hey I was just disconnected from #chemotherapy the day beforeπ) . But my preferred reality is that I ran 4.5 miles at a decent clip for me the other day.
Another reality is that the #chemotherapy working is questionable at this point based on scans and that the is a ton of #cancer in my lungs with a good sprinkling in my lymph nodes and a couple in my spine for good measure. .
My version of reality is signing up for next years @multirace Las Olas Sprint #triathlon again. My only concession to reality will be doing it as a relay again if needed π
Cancer came back for the third time in 3 years the end of 2017. Inoperable. Signed up for my 1st Triathlon that day and started training. Ironman 70.3 Finisher Fall 2018. Just missed another 70.3 finish in Fall 2019, after another 22 rounds of chemo and 3 radiation treatments since the Fall 2018 finish. Chemo stopped working December 2019. Looking to race in 2021
