ADT, maybe not? Anyone opted out of ADT?

I would mention that I have always been active through various sports. So, for me it was not that difficult. I have run many 1/2 marathons and ran a full marathon 15 years ago.
Basically, I knew how to dig deep when needed. The feel good factor of just small achievements would help you a lot. Believe me! Whilst I embraced having ADT injections, I certainly did not embrace the side effects. I needed a distraction. Go for it but, sensibly you won't regret it.

@johnwf I hear you, thanks. I've had to embrace something similar for my own situations already.
FWIW I did run this all past my friend who actually has the PC and ADT, and right now with his muscle pain he isn't running anywhere and with a cane he can get from the door to the car, and not a lot more. Given his overall situation at the moment I think his doctors are remiss in not giving him a break from the ADT right now, and watching for consequences. Friend also says at his limited energy level he just - can't. This really isn't like him so I take him at his word.
