What a finish.    So close after 26.2 miles (or was it 18 miles?)

9.5 miles along the river bluffs, which is a popular route around here. Feeling like the first of spring because it was in the 40s and the first day that there is no snow on the ground, other than a few piles here and there.

15 too quick miles. The weather was awesome. I started in a really light weight merino long sleeve and by mile 4 it was probably 60°F and I had to pop the top.

That was my longest run ever, my knee hurts a bit.

I have bladder cancer so the infusion is through a catheter into the bladder and is not systemic. The agent is BCG which is a genetically modified tuberculosis bacteria.  I think the side effects tend to be limited since it isn’t acting systemically and is isolated in the bladder.

Another immunotherapy infusion yesterday, but felt fine and so did 4 miles today with no issues.

I may have asked you this, and I'm sorry if I did, but what immunotherapy are you on? I got mine, Ocrevus, yesterday. My resting heart rate is up, my workout heart rate was higher than normal(despite feeling like an easy run), and I feel wired from the pre-infusion steroids.

I did 5 miles and felt almost over dressed in shorts and a long sleeve. If I'm still feeling this good tomorrow I'm planning on a 15 mile run.

I’ve kinda been there done that with Garmin (to be fair that was multiple product generations ago, but it sounds like others keep having nagging issues with them that sound like my experience back in the day.)

I might look at getting a Coros on my next training cycle (especially if I do another ultra this fall — tbd!)

I know some people swear by the Garmins. Last time I looked into them was generations ago and they were too large and had the issues I think you likely had. I got my COROS in August and I love it, does everything I need it to and the dual band GPS works perfect.

5k road, back at it after following 8 straight run days (a PR) with 3 straight recovery/off days (not a PR)

2/3 zone 2 and 1/3 zone 1, a good sign I’m recovered since I was just trying to stay zone 1/2.

Time to start a new running streak!

Oh and 10*C (50F) was too cold for short sleeves and no gloves at just zone 2! I’d had false info that it was a bit warmer. Fought through it and luckily finished everything between rounds of rain.
