Hi, Tracy,
This week I'm starting to focus on restoring stamina. Yesterday I hiked 2.6 miles round drip to Recreational Equipment Inc. to use up a rebate coupon to purchase camping supplies. The climb up Denny Way isn't that long, but I felt myself worn down by the walk back home.
And last night I went dancing with a friend. I found myself surprisingly weak and sitting out several dances. Before the evening was over, I was soaked with sweat. I think the weakness from my treatments has discouraged me from getting enough exercise, and that this has led to a decline instead of a recovery from the radiation and hormone-blocking treatments. So I believe it's time to stop recuperating and start exercising.
June 4-11 I plan to be hiking in the Canadian Rockies near Banff. Between now and then I'm going to try to get in a small hike every day to recover my stamina. And when I return from Banff I intend to hike regularly the remainder of the summer.
Love,
Dad
