New week
After getting slightly back on my feet last weekend I found an opportunity today to run a little longer.
While it was “only” 11 this time, it felt really good as I was able to take an our of me time rather than just 30 min. My girls where hanging out with friends from school and sports so that created a little window. I am very much motivated to get some more milage in as my oldest was already asking this early morning if we could run/skate more often and for longer distances. This is really motivating as I don’t want to fatigue next to my 11 year old. Plus it gives a great opportunity to casually talk about difficult things while moving.
Today’s run, little bit of rain but mostly pure fun. Tried to maintain a pace around 5:00/km and that felt doable
I will be trying to build my weekly milage back up to 50 - 80 km in the weeks where there is no chemo (and allow for less in the rough weeks) but that will allow me to keep a decent base.
Should time a few weeks to be back in the rhythm but also a few weeks is all it should take.
Mindset back positive! 🙏

I like that phrase, that's right! Good race, my friend.
Glad you are still out running and keeping the positive way of thinking. How is everything with your wife? I hope you guys are all doing well!
Did you get chance to check your local parkrun? Might be a way to get a bit of a race fix without a lot of time commitment.
Yeah! There is one closeby! Will join them as coming month I think as that would be fun to be along other without having any heavy subjects (as is currently with my network), tnx for the suggestion!
Thanks man! We had a little extra recovery time as the hospital decided to postpone the 5th (as my wife was not recoved enough at the scheduled date) the extra weeks were welcome as she is bouncing back a little faster. Despite a big fallback today she is doing ok!
