A while back, I published a blog entry
where I challenged myself to a personal bik-a-thon, starting the day of
the last chemo and ending the day of my surgery. I asked my friends and
readers to make contributions to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, either by kilometer or as a set amount.
How did I do? I rode every day except one, where I did get out for a walk. I logged 2924 kms with 41,219 meters of climbing! It's the climbing figure of which I am most proud. I didn't set any speed records and the folks who rode with me on my last long ride can absolutely confirm that. I did my best to wear myself out so the enforced rest and recovery time after surgery would be welcome. As a final kick, I walked to the hospital the morning of surgery.
Sorry this update has been so slow in being posted.
