The day before.
Had Dr. appt, still at once a month. He wants me to have a bone marrow biopsy in a few months. The last one was no fun at all, no meds at the local hospital.
This morning I got in week 8 day 1 of the couch to 5K. 5 min warm up then 2.75 miles in 30:09. I am sure I could get the 5k in, I have been doing it as programed, not going to rush it now. Only 5 more runs till I finish it.
Time to start looking for that first race. I will let you know when I pick one.
I was going to get in another WOD today, but my shoulders are getting worse as the day wears on. So 150 burpees and pull ups would be a very bad idea, I was going to scale but still too sore. I will start up strong tomorrow, two burpees sounds much better right now :P
I am in the 5% challenge but I never do very well with weight loss when trying.
So here are my measurements
neck 16.5
arm 12.5
chest 48.25
waist 46.25
thigh 22
While going through chemo I lost 19" all over and lost and gained 150 lbs. Dropping 40-45 pounds each round. Weight in the morning.
Best of luck on getting to where you want to be at the challenge. Now Go and Get it.

Been a long time again, good thing I do not do this as a job.
Two days away from the start of the 52DC for summer. I kept goals mostly the same as last time. I did add a burpee component, start @ 2 add 2 everyday through all 52 days, last day 104 burpees. Then I saw tomorrows WOD,
Tuesday 110531
For time:
50 Pull-ups
10 Burpees
40 Pull-ups
20 Burpees
30 Pull-ups
30 Burpees
20 Pull-ups
40 Burpees
10 Pull-ups
50 Burpees
Post time to comments.
Is this a sign from above??? 150 burpees and 150 pull ups ouch!
Especially since I did Murphy today,
run 1 mile
100 pull ups
200 push ups
300 squats
run 1 mile. 75:08
Not sure if I will try this tomorrow? But would be a great warm up for those 2 burpees on the first day of the challenge.
Looks like the allergy meds are working, headache's are much less. I am wondering if I am hyper sensitive to them now that they were one of the first signs of the tumor growing in my head. I have decided to try and let them pass as just headache's nothing more. Dr tomorrow for check up, can't wait till we get to move them out to 3 months instead of every month.
Hope you are all ready to rip in to this one?

Yesterday
Well yesterday was the first day in a month and a half that I have not had a headache. It really had me worried, brought back memories of last years start to the spring/summer. It has been 7 days of taking allergy meds, so It looks like that has taken care of the problem.
Yesterday, I also got in week 5 day 1 of the C25K. It felt pretty good, legs are getting much better at keeping loose for the entire runs.
Last night, A friend and I went paddling up in Seattle. I got lots of great comments about how I look. Proof is in the pudding, I saw friends last night I have not seen since my first round of chemo, when sitting upright was a chore. I was carrying my 80 lbs kayak overhead to the water, it is easier when taking it off a tall rig. One of them said "it looks like you are gonna throw it", well I got to the waters edge and chucked it as hard as I could. As it hit the water all turned around, a few said "Hey Dave's back". I also felt good enough to try doing rolls, I heve not rolled in well over a year. So it was a big deal to give it a try. I took my time with the rolls and they felt really great.
All in all it was a great day. I hope you are having the same.

Wow
TOP PIC is Carson David Mottershead New grandson.
I can not believe it has been a month. Where Have I been? I have been a bit withdrawn and scared the last few weeks. I have been having symptoms that remind me of this time last year. My oncologist said he thinks it is allergies, gave me meds for that. We will see if that is the case. The headaches have been getting bad.
It has only been a few days on it, it does seam to be getting better.
No workout today. The back of my left leg feels like it might of pulled it a bit. I was moving all day long outside for the most part. I did some work on the living room. Set up a spot to move the chicks outside. Then took the ribs out of the boat that needs fixing. Decided I would change the shape of the boat, make it more to my liking.
I am posting all of this stuff to show myself I am not lazy and I can do lots of stuff not just what I have been for the last 30 years.
Convince myself I can have things I do not believe I deserve.
