Today I went to the gym and did an hour and a half on the arc trainer. I skipped weight training today since I need to focus on getting in my mileage for the week since I will not be at the group run on Saturday. I already put in 7.8 miles on Monday and today I am putting in 7.8 miles more. The minimum mileage for this week is 16 miles and the maximum amount of mileage for the week is 19. So far, I am in good shape with putting in 15.6 miles for the week.

Today’s question relates to pain. How do breast cancer patients deal with pain in the cold weather?

Breast cancer patients who have had expanders put in after bilateral mastectomy deal with pain from the cold weather. To fix this issue, they put on extra layers of clothing and even a puffy vest because the pectoral muscle retracts in cold weather and this causes them pain.
