Thanks, Ruth - my main concern is that my radiation was 10 years ago and now they are so much more accurate and they can avoid the heart.  Also, my father had a massive heart attack at 64 and died.  However, after I thought about it more, there is nothing I would do differently.  I went with the information that was available at the time.  I still plan on running and working out because it's MORE dangerous to be sedentary! I'll bring it up when I see my oncologist.

HIIT on the treadmill, 20 minutes this morning followed by legs.

TGIF!!!

A sad day today - we have a pet turtle dove who is 30 years old and isn't doing well, so we have an appointment at the avian vet for euthanasia today.  It's hard to lose him after all these years - we adopted him and his mate from the animal shelter 28 years ago.  She died several years ago, but he kept going.  He loved to coo first thing in the morning - it was always such a lovely sound to awaken to.  He hasn't cooed in weeks, and has been sinking down, so now's the time.  Hard to do after losing Sully the cat last month, but it's the right thing to do. 

Agreed with everyone who is long out of active treatment - we made the best decisions for ourselves that we could with the info we had on hand at that time.  And by continuing to exercise, we're continuing to make the best decisions we can for ourselves. 

50 minute treadmill run last night.  Today is a rest day, then we have a St. Pat's 5K tomorrow in Hagerstown near the cabin.  The forecast is cold rain with possible snow showers - I'm going to freeze my shamrocks off!

Mary, so sorry you and your husband are saying good bye to your lovely turtle dove. Pat, good to read all is settled with the dress.

Today is Red Nose Day where money is raised for a charity called Comic Relief. Went to gym for freestyle step and body balance wearing a red top and red-nose bobble headband and handed a £1 for the kitty my instructor Sue pass around.

Happy Friday!

Oh Mary, so sorry to hear about your turtle dove. It sounds like he has been a lovely companion.

Pat, glad the dress worked out. You will have to post a picture of it!

We had about 6 inches of wet, wet snow and really bad roads all over the region. (This is not exactly 'typical' weather, last year it was 50 degrees WARMER than today!) Shoveled and sculpted until I was rescued by a neighbor with his snowblower (DH is out of town), 45 minutes on the treadmill & 15 of Pilates Challenge.
