Slow but Sure

My Dr. in Chicago told me about one of his patients who ran marathons in between his chemo treatments.  I thought that sounded pretty "one of a kind".  I thought wouldn't it be great if I could
continue to ride my bike in between treatments.  Unfortunately it is 2 degrees outside with snow.  Not sure I have that kind of energy any way.  Yesterday after Maxine shared a great afternoon with me and I was feeling a little upbeat I decided to try my seldom (that's a stretch, like almost never) used stationary recumbent bike.  The batteries were burned out.....hmmm understandable.  Dell replaced those for me and today viola!  I rode!  Thirty minutes!  Granted it was so slow that a real bike could not have stayed in an upright position, but I did ride.  Now I have some new goals to set!  Yea!  I am a happy camper, or biker as the case may be.   :)
