The Start of Day 23

Although I had to get up every two hours to adjust the heater in my hotel room, I still slept pretty well. When my Palm went off at 5:15 this morning I felt pretty good. I did a mile and a half on the hotel’s treadmill. To alleviate the monotony I developed a routine where I cranked the inclined as high as it would go (12%) and then back down to flat. This was a 0.15 mile routine that I could repeat over and over and it helped to make the time go faster. Also at 12% incline it made me huff and puff pretty good.

I find I’m feeling pretty good after my shower. I don’t know if it’s the normal rise as I get further from my last chemo treatment or it’s from the Aranesp.

The hotel has a pretty nice complementary breakfast. They have a make-your-own Belgian waffle – very tasty.

It looks like it snowed last night. I see about an inch of snow on the cars in the parking lot, but the streets just look wet. It’s always a little dicey getting out of the hotel parking lot, when I leave. The parking lot empties directly onto 60 mph Route 208. Today should be even a little dicier what with the wet weather.

On a political note, it looks like the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is expanding into Canada – interesting.
