IMC here I come

Well, after consulting the GP and Oncologist and of course getting the OK from Lori (my wife); we have all agreed that Ironman Canada 2012 is a good thing for me to do.  Yesterday myself and six fellow binner's (www.bin-tri-n.com)  signed up for the event in Penticton, so now begins the year of preparing and training for my third Ironman Canada competition. 
This one will be focused on my diet/nutrition and my sleep/rest periods so that I remain healthy through the training and the event.  I plan on keeping this blog up to date with my progress and promise all of you that I will listen to my body and not my training schedule.

More to follow on this next chapter of my kicking lymphoma square in the nodes!

physically doing well; but mentally???

Well as you all know the doctors have told me that I am fine for the time being and I should continue about my life as normal, well I put them to the test.  I called the oncologist office the other day and asked if they considered training for and doing another Ironman Canada as being normal, the answer was no concerns and no objections...
So later this month I am heading to Penticton to register for next summer's Ironman Canada.  I know most would not consider this as normal behavior and certainly not what someone with cancer would be doing but as I mentioned in the title my mental health has been in question for a while now.
This for me is great news as it means the doctors believe that I truly am healthy and can really go about "my normal" life.
Lori is very happy that I have a new goal and some direction for my energy to go in rather than another renovation at the house.
More to follow but wanted to share the good news.
