Last Monday was my biopsy. Dr. Baker got a higher than desired reading on one of my tests during my physical. Then Dr. Walzer got a higher than desirable reading on the specialty tests that he ran. So, just to be overly cautious and thorough, a biopsy was ordered. Well that came back clear. So I'm OK!! But I had to take a couple of days off. Not really what I wanted to do 6 weeks out from the St. Jude, but hey, not much of a choice. The week prior was an Awesome week of running, with 54 miles, and another 33 miles on the bike. I had a 13 miler, a 14 miler, and a 17 miler. 2 3's and a 4 thrown in there for good measure. My Bike ride was 33miles in one day, Wednesday. My legs were like rubber after that.
Then came the biopsy on Monday this week. I felt terrible the rest of the day. Even though I slept most of the day. You see I worked the overnight at the hotel 11 PM to 8 AM the night before. Actually I laid around for two days. Then on Wednesday I felt pretty good.Just put one foot in front of the other. Two days of rest did make me feel pretty energetic, I must say. Wednesday and Thursday I knocked out a 7 miler each day, then Friday and Saturday, 8 miler each day. All 4 runs were on the TM (treadmill). I felt the need to be in a controlled environment, having so recently been violated and still experiencing bleeding way out of the ordinary. I am not going to give anymore details than that. Suffice to say, I felt comfortable being close to home.
Now it's Sunday morning. The seventh day following B'Day, as we will call it, and I am wrapping up a 10 hour shift at the hotel. I am planning on going home, showering, going to church, running to the Martin's after, eating, probably, then FOOTBALL, NASCAR, more FOOTBALL, then maybe get a nap in there somewhere. I am hoping to finish the week with 40 miles on the road, but I would be happy with 35 given the circumstances.
Here is a picture taken on the GreenLine last week. It was 13 miles of my 33 mile bike ride on Wednesday.
