1st 40+ mile week since finishing chemo last Oct!!
Also had the added benefit of getting to scare my oncologist during my routine bloodwork visit this week. It really freaks 'em out when you lose weight. I bet he asked me 4 times if I was trying to lose it. |

Congrats on the miles! That is quite an achievement. 
And congrats on loosing weight as well - except why would it freak out the oncologist?

Thanks.
I think the 1st thing they look at is your weight chart. Any weight loss for a cancer patient, past or current is a warning sign, at least until they realize there is an assignable cause. |

| Oh Craig, what wonderful news! That IS a "tah dah!" It has to feel amazing to get back the freedom and satisfaction of building mileage. It's such a special part of our lives, but it's hard not to take it for granted. Keep up the great work, stay strong and healthy and keep "freaking out" your doctors - in a GOOD way! |

Craig - I'm with you there! Congratulations on your achievement!
I know exactly what you mean - when I'm running lots it doesn't matter what I eat - I look like I have lost weight, but it is only the shifting around that the fat loss/muscle build does. I keep telling people i'm not fragile!
I will be running a 15 k run on my birthday in August, which happens to be 8 years exactly since my last radiation treatment.
