Penguin Allergy

I had an interesting visit to the allergy doctor yesterday. It appears that the only way I can be allergy free is move to Antarctica, continue to avoid celery , and just in case I have a penguin allergy - don't get a pet. I guess I could test that theory with a quick trip to the zoo. Word has it, that this spring and summer are horrible for allergies here in Utah. A dry winter, strong winds, little rain, and who knows what else have affected almost anyone you meet. Until I ran into the food allergy issues last year, I didn't think I had allergies to anything. After yesterday, I'll have to plan an extra 30 minutes whenever I fill out a medical form. I'm new to the allergy thing and have many friends that have lived with it their entire lives and get shots to manage - I'm realizing it's a real pain. So, here's a recap of how I ended up worrying about penguin allergies . I came home from Malaysia in November with a nasty head cold , exacerbated by the

100 Miles of Nowhere: DV for CB

I'll get back to the last few days of our California Cycling Vacation posts soon, but first my 100 Miles of Nowhere Race Report. I’ve been a Fat Cyclist reader off and on for several years, drawn in by the crazy cycling adventures but captivated by his passion for fundraising and fighting cancer. This past year, the fight got personal when my friend and neighbor Christian (CB) was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 4. CB is 35, an amazing mountain biker, a wonderful friend, father of 2 young girls, and husband to Corrie. Corrie is also a gifted athlete and incredible person. Somehow, with all their relatives 2000 miles away, they’ve maintained a reasonably normal atmosphere for their girls while CB battles the Big C. If you haven’t guessed already, I love them like family and am very proud of how they are handling this entire situation. CB killing it on the single track... on a single speed ( Oct 2011 ) Since late April 2012, CB has unde

Mayo Memories: After (Part 3)

Everything after May 2018 can be defined as "After Mayo" and will remain a key milestone for the rest of my life. I hope I'm not so cautious in the future about my immune system and virus exposure. COVID didn't help, but now that we are vaccinated, I'm finding the balance between protecting myself from a flare-up and putting my EBV/CMV adventure on a back shelf. We won't forget the lessons learned and the precious value of good health. The 10-12 months after I returned from the Mayo Clinic were a very important part of my recovery. Before Part 1 , I took my health and energy levels for granted. I could easily knock out double workouts, put in a long day of work, travel and adventure all weekend without concern and usually driving others into the ground. I had a good run for over 40 years. Once things started going sideways in Spring 2017, and flipped me upside down Fall 2017 into 2018, I was (and still am) afraid that "Jenny" was never coming back.
