The last two weeks I've been returning to my normal exercise routine - treadmill 45 minutes three times a week. I know it doesn't sound like much I am a surprised how much better I feel with even that small amount of exercise.

Today my wife and I returned to one of our favorite hiking trails. We went for the route normally do and I am happy to report that I managed the whole 4.6 miles without feeling the need to call for rescue.

This is the best I've felt since I finish radiation treatments last month.

That's terrific news, "oh what a great feeling"!!! It all helps the energy, endorphins, outlook and attitude - stay with it InTheShop.

Glad to hear you are doing well and back to the exercise routine.
I completed 40 radiation treatments on January 6 and everything is back to normal. It's almost like the diagnosis and all the radiation treatments were just a bad dream.
Anyhow, back to reality. I had blood drawn for a PSA last week and will be meeting with the radiation/oncologist this Friday for a check up and review of the test results.
Wife wanted me to get the test results immediately but I chose to wait until I see the doc.
Denial is still working for me.

Good for you! I joined the YMCA 3 weeks ago and have been working out there 5 days a week and feel much better. It carries over into my eating habits too. Makes me want to eat healthier.

Keep it up!

Great job.

IMHO exercise is one of the most important things we can do for both our physical and mental well being.

I have been blessed to be able to exercise for basically my whole life to date.

Best of luck.

You are an inspiration to so many of us. Way to go and keep up the great progress. I can't wait for all the snow to melt so some of our great trails will open up. "I love to go awandering, along the moutain trek, and as I go.....

It's so much more fun to walk outdoors! It brings benefits for your mind as well as your body, I think. My husband, Carter, has tried hard to keep up with exercising since finishing his radiation treatments. I really enjoy doing it together. I'm glad for you!

Great news! I walk 1.5-2 miles every morning (unless there is lightening). Makes a huge difference in how I feel and allows me to reward myself with some chocolate every now and then. Glad you are back on the trails.

Thanks for all the kind words.

There is nothing like being out hiking. Being in nature and far from this high tech world I live and work in is just plain good for the soul.

I always feel emotionally energized after a good stomp through the hills and woods. I am lucky to live in a place where there are good parks and natural lands to hike in.

The treadmill is okay but there is nothing like feeling the wind on the top of the ridge or walking buy a small stream.
