Stuff

First, a quick running update.  Ran again this morning.  A little over 2 miles in 30 min.  I felt good and I ran the entire 1st mile without walking.  Very happy about that one.  It is very slow getting back into running shape, but I know that if I keep at it I will get better.

Second, both my Nana (maternal grandmother) and Paw-Paw in-law (MIL grandfather) are in congestive heart failure.  My Nana is 94, will be 95 in March.  My Paw-paw in-law is 86.  Unfortunately, I am not really that close to my Nana.  She lives in Topeka, KS and I really have not seen her that much in the last 20 years.  They are giving her some drugs to help relieve the fluid buildup and I am hoping that she can recover as much as possible.  We are planning on going to Kansas in March to celebrate her 95th birthday.

My wife's Paw-paw on the other hand is not doing so well.  He is in the hospital again now and will be in there for a few days.  He is the closest thing I have ever had to a grandfather.  Both of mine died before I graduated from high school.

I apologize for being a downer.  Just remember to tell your parents and grandparents you love them today.

Total miles: 14

  1. Sorry. :(

    I've just got one parent left. I'm calling her right now and I promise I'll be mushy and lovey-dovey.
