The Start of Day 4

It was 37 degrees at 5:30 when I went out for my two-mile walk/jog this morning. I’d like to say I feel very good, but as my physical condition improves, I push harder in my exercise routine to retain a tired feeling. I’ll have some coffee a little later this morning and that should perk me up.

On my walk/jog, I jogged about 40% of the first mile and about 60% of the second mile. I have the desire to build up as much aerobic capacity as I can until my next chemo treatment next Wednesday.

I was able to do eight pushups this morning. That last one was a supreme effort, but I got it. I don’t know if I can repeat this tomorrow morning. The eight pushups means I also did 16 sit-ups. They are much easier.

The Vorlon Father is undergoing a myelogram this morning to see how bad the pinched nerve in his back is. I wish him luck.

It sounds like your strength is improving. That is a good sign.
