Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ditto the sentiment about 2 miles running being fun, Donelle. One of my brothers once said the day he drives down the street and sees a jogger smiling, he might consider taking it up himself.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 You go for it Marty but take it easy those first few days. Jolene The NEXT marathon Now that I finished the chemo-torture-poison marathonm I started the training today for my NEXT marathon...a REAL one... I know that, in reality, it's a bit too early, but my spirit really needed to get out on the road again. I have not run since October 1m just haven't felt up to it. Today, I did my radio show and dragged my sorry bones out onto the street for Day One of my next marathon training program. Managed to squeeze out 2.5 miles,but the numbe legs (up to the hips now) REALLY made it rough. I don't have control of my leg muscles anymore, and they feel like lead weights...but I did it, anyway. I felt pretty OK for the first 1.8 miles, but the rest was a death march. Really stagered into my driveway and collapsed on the ground... But it still felt great .. (even wearing the idiotic truss to hold my guts in until I have the hernia repair operation in 6 weeks--next trauma) Keep the faith and hope, guys... Marty p.s. Here's my first show (today) after the completion of the chemo: http://www.israelnewsradio.net/rabin.html M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 That is a good one. LOL. See the pro runners out on the highway sometime. They are ALL muscle, not a bit of fat on them. EUWWWW. LOL. I like what your brother said.. Makes sense to me. Jolene Re: The NEXT marathon Ditto the sentiment about 2 miles running being fun, Donelle.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 One of my favorite quotes (paraphrased): Everything to excess!! To enjoy life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks. A. Heinlein Go for it but please use a little common sense. Push yourself but don't push so far that you wind up in the hospital. As for the hernia repair, been there, done that. I had a mesh put in since just resewing it didn't work the first time. I was out of the hospital in a day, mainly because I fought like hell to get out of there (grin). It's not as bad as the abdominal surgery but I was sore for quite a while. Miracles happen!
