The New Year and Good-Bye To 2020

2020 is now in the review mirror. I wanted to make sure it was gone in each and every time zone.



Every real life race for me was cancelled, but I kept on training. Trying to do enough to keep in shape so I would not have to start over from the beginning.


1360 Miles biking
205 Running
40 miles swimming
80 days taking chemotherapy pills
Countless days of PT for whatever back issue is happening.


Started 2021 on the treadmill - a mile walk, 1.5 mile "run." It is something, but the last week or so, been congested. It is difficult not to think that the tumors in my lung, particularly the one that is close to impacting my airway (about 6.5 x 6.5 cm) may be causing issues. But that is one of the things about cancer. Way too often the aches, pains or physical impact brings up the thought of "cancer"


Then you do your best to shake it off. Tomorrow I plan to bike. Swimming is going to take a hit this year, because I probably will not be able to swim until I can tether in a backyard pool, health clubs still a bit of a risk for me.


So more immediate goal is beating 2020's running and biking totals.
