So in a nutshell, this is the emo trip i took today. I don't care if i get back to 220 anytime soon, or if i can bench 405 ever again or any of the cool things i felt really good about. None of that matters. I'm training to keep my heart in amazing health and be able to recover quicker from the chemo treatments. My liver metabolizes toxins fairly quickly, thanks to the german/irish/italian background, I've got thousands of years of building some strong liver enzymes! But really, at the end of the day I can't let people down by pushin up a lilly becuase i got lazy and said forget the gym. If hear the goose walkin over me, i'll at least know i did my best to stay in shape and eat right to do my part. Then everyone can point fingers at God or whatever and blame other people or stuff.
Alright, i'm terrible with emotions and this blog isn't fun to write. So here, this is the route i did today. Took the GF like 10 miles and she was nervous and moves around a bunch in the turns which freaks me out. So i dropped her cute butt off at her parents house and went down rt 38 all the way to dekalb. Along the way i realized St. Charles is the absolute worst stretch of road on that path, more hills and potholes than if chicago's roads were transplanted into San Fran. Once in the open country i was behind an SUV that allowed me to open the throttle to around 70 and cruise. The 2 lane highway was a little bumpy which made for a few scary moments. But the more miles i put on, the more situations i'm exposed to and the more i realize that this bike can handle JUST ABOUT anything the road can throw at her. Why did i get all sorts of caps crazy there? As i hit a few of these bumps i kept saying that to myself over and over. It worked kind of like tricked myself into thinking that the bike can handle it, but allowed me to stay vigilant without getting too complaicent. OH yeah, got the brakes done (you'll see the blue line heading to carol stream) hit the gym and then went the the Kawasaki dealer to check some things out (trip down ogden) and my trip to dekalb whilst returning on the expressway. and finally a trip to a restaurant called The Bank in Downtown Wheaton.
SO the big day is coming up! Treatments on tuesday and wednesday are totally possible, but we'll see how things go. The theory is that i'll leave friday, so lots of water is in my future. I have to be good about that if i want to leave on time. Oh, and the weather, i just hope it holds for a little while longer. I HATE riding in the rain, at least at high speeds. Looks like sat through monday are good days around here. We'll have to play it by ear and hope for the best to be sure. Here's the forecast just a little heads up to anyone that cares haha. Whelp, i've got to get better at taking pictures on the road, so that I will be sure to do. Also, the tires look a little bald.....soemthing that needs to be brought up. Hopefully i'll ahve better blogs in the future when i'm actually on the road!

So the Pick above is when i was training every day, hard and also watching what i ate. It literally was the easiest thing ever, especially when you surround yourself with people that are very much into that lifestyle......also #selfies will make you look douchy no matter what your demeanor haha!

This was after I hadn't been in the gym for 5 months, due to a grueling work "schedule" (in at 0630 out 1815), needless to say with the treatments etc it was very hard to stay healthy and meet the demands of the job. I sacrificed too much for a JOB....your health should always be near the top of priorities lest you should let everyone down and go on lookin like a cancer paitent ;)
