Running through the chemo

Just got back from the gym! It's day five of my chemotherapy. I was able to run (jogging is probably more like it, but close enough) 2.25 miles today with a few walk breaks. My body is hotter than usual--and by hotter I mean temperature of course--so I'm drinking more water and taking breaks when I need them. My heart rate seems to be higher throughout the day too, which is a side effect of the chemo drugs I'm on. I will only do what my body is able, but even if I slow down a bit, running through chemo will make this so much easier on me physically and emotionally. Next week I will try for some light strength training, but for now I'm happy that I've been able to do this much during these first days of treatment.
