My wife and I went for a bike ride on a new trail and when we were done, we were done! I haven’t rode my bike in probably 10 years or more. I’d say that my 10 speed is probably in better shape than I am as far as riding bike is concerned. My wife didn’t do much better than me either.

So, just because you are doing good one way, doesn’t mean you would with another. A good remedy for this has to with something called Cross training. Which for me would include the bike. That is should I decide to get it back on the road. I’ve been using weights and other forms of “inside” exercising with my running as my cross training.

In either case, one should go ahead and get one. They don’t take too long and if scheduled right, you’ll still have most of your day to yourself. In my case, I just had one today. Yep, I just turned 50 last December and my time came to have one. All in all, it can be a two day procedure in that one goes through a prep the day before which is basically the worst part of the hole deal.

The 2nd day is where the actual procedure takes place, and in my case, I was to be there an hour before the procedure which meant I needed to be there at 7:30am for an 8:30am procedure. The procedure itself, takes about 20 minutes. All in all, I was done and out a little over 2 hours later and on my way home. Such a short time of inconvenience to prevent problems later. In my case, nothing was found and I don’t have to worry about having another for at least another 5 years.

If you are thinking about not having one due to excuses or fears, forget it and just do it! Don’t kick your colon later for not getting it done now. Give yourself the gift of peace of mind by inconveniencing yourself a little today. When I arrived to the center to get it done, the receptionist said to me that the worst part is over and she was right! I went about my business the rest of the day.
