Daily Quote: "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible." --St. Francis of Assisi.
Today is my new beginning, my feeding tube has been gone a week and my stomach wound is somewhat healed, I'm now ready to start my training!! Today's run is my day of rejoicing and celebrating my cancer remission. A special treat today, my support group "Bruce's Team" will also run at 9:00 a.m. for my celebratory run. "Bruce's Team" has been supporting me throughout my cancer fight and were very helpful during those days when I was struggling with the radiation therapy and chemotherapy, God Bless them all.
Weather: 9:00 a.m. Sunny, 77 degrees, humidity 18%, winds SE at 8 mph. A little warm, wore my racing singlet and shorts. Lathered up on suntan lotion, which is almost empty, need to put suntan lotion on the grocery list.
Course: Out and back on US95 Bike Trail. Noticed that the City of Las Vegas has recently painted over all the graffiti.
Equipment: I wore all my toys, which was totally unnecessary, all I needed was my watch, but I was in a playful mood. Wore my Garmin 305 Forerunner, Polar Heart Rate Monitor, and my one bottle fanny pack. Also wore my lightweight racing shoes, the ASICS Trainers.
Run: Warmup, 10 minutes of racewalking. Ran one mile at 10:23 minutes. Cooldown, 10 minutes of racewalking. Average heart rate during the run was 161 bpm. Average overall heart rate 142 bpm.
Felt great and energized after my run, I'm beyond happy!! I'm really not concerned about my speed as all my runs for the upcoming month will be done very easy as I rebuild my base. I'm concerned about the automobile exhausts along HWY95 and wonder if I should run on the gym's treadmill instead?!? It's so much easier to start my run from the front door.
