We rode our mountain bikes on Saturday at Graham Hills for a couple of hours. Although I rode well and did more technical sections than I have done post surgery- the mountain biking still takes a lot out of me. So as much as I preferred riding in the woods, the road bike was the plan for Sunday. G and I left the house with no expectations other than to enjoy the beautiful day together on our bikes. As it turns out, I had pretty good legs and we were able to make it 42 miles!
The only thing that could steal my fire that day was the reminder that next Sunday I would feel like junk again.
Tomorrow is my last chemo treatment. I guess one would think that I would be a little more excited. Maybe I will feel different once the last of the side-effects clears out of my system- will all the side-effects ever go away? I know I still have a long road ahead. Anyone that has been around me during the last 4months knows that I get a bit grumpy the day prior to my treatments. I guess it is because I know what is coming.
I do hope that this is the last chemotherapy that I will EVER need again.

42 miles- no wonder my legs were barking at me the next day.... Kept telling them "shut up legs"
